FOREIGN LEGION

Aug. 20
The news reported that it’s 120 degrees In Iraq. That means Americans are running around in full body armor in a steambath.

Bush and his idiot gang of neoconservative knuckleheads and thieves are burying the United States so far down that we’re never going to climb out. Bush cronies The Custer Battle Corporation just had their fraud conviction thrown out on the technicality that they weren’t billing the government, but a company set up by the government in Iraq.

Custer Battle Corp. does not have any factories or fleets of ships. It is a group of wise guys with a suite of offices in Washington D.C. and Republican connections, who call themselves “consultants.” Their job is to milk their connections for war-related contracts and to kick part of it back to the Republican Party.

These guys must have had a jolly time when their Defense Department buddies told them, “The best part of it is, you can’t be convicted of fraud because you are not billing the Defense Department, you’re billing an Iraqi company set up by the Defense Department.”

“Haw-haw, that’s rich, Joe!”

Meanwhile, Iraq is disintegrating by the minute. Saddam Hussein was a prick, but this is worse and it’s getting worser.

The only way we are going to put a band-aid over this mess long enough to get the fuck out of there is through international cooperation, and now that they have to send troops to Lebanon to protect the Hezbollah, the other countries are not going to want to go into Iraq as well.

The way this is going to turn out, and I’m truly unhappy to be the one who has to deliver the bad news, is that this mess is going to end up like that old black and white Foreign Legion movie where the only survivor left alive in the fort is the sergeant, and he is propping up all the dead soldiers at the parapets to fool the bloodthirsty Arabs, who are jumping around outside the walls waving knives and swords, leering with anticipation at what they’re going to do when they get inside.
