OMFG - Fundamental insanity

"God is watching over this battalion, believe me," he said.

Most of the Christian soldiers say they believe what they are doing is right because of the brutalities of Saddam's regime. They are only vaguely aware of objections by the international anti-war lobby and the rising dissatisfaction of Iraqis themselves with the occupation.

There is little sympathy among them, however, for the notion that the invasion of Iraq may form part of a wider international clash of civilizations -- Christianity against Islam.

"Maybe we don't understand them (Muslims), but this has nothing to do with religion," added Gaspard, a 24-year-old from Louisiana. "We are here to do what (U.S. President) George Bush said -- find weapons of mass destruction."

2. "God is watching over this battalion, believe me," he said.

"Yeah, it's that OTHER battalion that God overlooked - you know, the one that got blown up? God hated THAT battalion."

7. Proof positive

that our educational system has been reduced
to producing a corporate drone slave work force.
No critical thinking needed-
These kids are basically easily brainwashed-
no questions, no discussion, no debate, by the
deliberate dumbing down of our population
in the interest of corporate interests.
The war is just an extension of those interests
and the cannon fodder is clueless to the fact that
they were groomed for the job from the first day
of kindergarten.
DAMN THE ELITE; DAMN THEM TO HELL!

9. Dubya didn't believe in WMDs in Iraq.

No, it's that Dubya and his thugs believe in a DMD (Deity of Mass Destruction).

10. How come they still tell the soldiers it is about finding WMD?

But the media and all the administration hawks here have totally given up on that lame excuse and now say it was wholly justified because Saddam was a bad, bad man. Are the soldiers so indocrinated by propaganda that it would be dangerous to change the story at this point?
