More Pentagon Bitches!!

This is how this country chooses to represent itself while in a foreign country. It comes as no shock to me. If you're shocked, clearly you haven't been paying attention.

‘I hate all Iranians,’said senior Pentagon official Debra Cagan to a group of British MPs. “The six MPs were taken aback by the hardline approach of the Pentagon and in particular Ms Cagan, one of Mr Bush’s foreign policy advisers.” Cagan “also accused Britain of ‘dismantling’ the Anglo-US-led coalition in Iraq by pulling troops out of Basra too soon.”


The Daily Mail has a longer article on the story.

I hate all Iranians, US aide tells MPs

Britsh MPs visiting the Pentagon to discuss America's stance on Iran and Iraq were shocked to be told by one of President Bush's senior women officials: "I hate all Iranians."

And she also accused Britain of "dismantling" the Anglo-US-led coalition in Iraq by pulling troops out of Basra too soon.

The all-party group of MPs say Debra Cagan, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Coalition Affairs to Defence Secretary Robert Gates, made the comments this month.




The six MPs were taken aback by the hardline approach of the Pentagon and in particular Ms Cagan, one of Mr Bush's foreign policy advisers.

She made it clear that although the US had no plans to attack Iran, it did not rule out doing so if the Iranians ignored warnings not to develop a nuclear bomb.

It was her tone when they met her on September 11 that shocked them most.

The MPs say that at one point she said: "In any case, I hate all Iranians."

Although it was an aside, it was not out of keeping with her general demeanour.

"She seemed more keen on saying she didn't like Iranians than that the US had no plans to attack Iran," said one MP. "She did say there were no plans for an attack but the tone did not fit the words."

Another MP said: "I formed the impression that some in America are looking for an excuse to attack Iran. It was very alarming."

Tory Stuart Graham, who was on the ten-day trip, would not discuss Ms Cagan but said: "It was very sobering to hear from the horse's mouth how the US sees the situation."

Ms Cagan, whose job involves keeping the coalition in Iraq together, also criticised Britain for pulling out troops.

"She said if we leave the south of Iraq, the Iranians will take it over," said one MP.

Another said: "She is very forceful and some of my colleagues were intimidated by her muscular style."

The MPs also saw Henry Worcester, Deputy Director of the Office of Iranian Affairs, who said he favoured talks with Iran.

The Pentagon denied Ms Cagan said she "hated" Iranians.

"She doesn't speak that way," said an official.

But when The Mail on Sunday spoke to four of the six MPs, three confirmed privately that she made the remark and one declined to comment. The other two could not be contacted.

I'm sure the feeling is mutual Ms. Cagan. I'm sure that the Iranian people hate you too!! If you asked every person in the world (excluding the United States) if they hated the United States, the answer would be no. They don't hate the United States or its people. They hate the government, and people like Ms. Cagan. She's a bitch who doesn't know when to shut her mouth!! That's what they hate. They hate this government because they treat other countries and their people like the shit on the bottom of their shoes.

Oh, she doesn't speak that way? Really? Is the Pentagon prepared to go on record as having called at least three MPs liars? Is the Pentagon prepared to prove that she didn't say what she REALLY DID SAY?

She said it!! She deserves to be fired. But she won't. In fact, I'm waiting for her promotion to a higher position. You know, the Pentagon likes to reward people for this kind of shit. Does anyone want to place bets on what position she'll be offered? Perhaps she'll be the bitch in charge of the "We're Not Bombing Iran But We're Really Bombing Iran" campaign. She'll no doubt be sent out to win the "hearts and minds" of the American people. She'll tell us that murdering innocent Iranians is a good thing. Then she'll be sent over to the Middle East to win the "hearts and minds" of those who think bombing Iran is an illegal, immoral thing to do.

Think I'm joking? Mark my words!!

Pentagon Rewards Blackwater For MURDER!!

The Pentagon has rewarded Blackwater for MURDER!!

Pentagon Issues Blackwater New $92 Million Contract

Earlier this month, Blackwater USA was involved in the fatal shooting of 11 Iraqi civilians. While the Iraqi government swiftly condemned the contractor, the Bush administration has continued to back Blackwater’s story that it was “defensive fire.”

Last Thursday, Gen. Peter Pace told reporters, “Blackwater has been a contractor in the past with the department and could certainly be in the future.” The next day, that future was already here. The Pentagon had issued a new list of contracts, including one worth $92 million to Presidential Airways, the “aviation unit of parent company Blackwater.” From the release:

Presidential Airways, Inc., an aviation Worldwide Services company (d/b/a Blackwater Aviation), Moyock, N.C., is being awarded an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) type contract for $92,000,000.00. The contractor is to provide all fixed-wing aircraft, personnel, equipment, tools, material, maintenance and supervision necessary to perform passenger, cargo and combi Short Take-Off and Landing air transportation services between locations in the Area of Responsibility of Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan. This contract was competitively procured and two timely offers were received. The performance period is from 1 Oct. 2007 to 30 September 2011.

Government officials have repeatedly ignored Blackwater’s transgressions. Senior Iraqi officials “repeatedly complained to U.S. officials” about Blackwater’s “alleged involvement in the deaths of numerous Iraqis, but the Americans took little action to regulate the private security firm.”

Next week. Rep. David Price (D-NC) plans to introduce legislation “to extend the reach of U.S. civil courts to include security contractors in Iraq.”

I can just picture the conversation.

PENTAGON: Congratulations!! Your work (murder) to keep America safe is greatly appreciated.

BLACKWATER: Thank you!! We're honored and proud to be doing great work (murder) on behalf of the United States of America.

PENTAGON: Now, to show our appreciation for your work (murder), we would like to reward you with a new 92 million dollar contract to continue your great work (murder) in Iraq.

BLACKWATER: We won't let America down!!

These thugs make me sick!!

Latest Pentagon "PR" Move Smacks Of Propaganda!!

Courtesy of Think Progress, this story speaks for itself.

“The Pentagon will announce this week that Geoff Morrell, previously a White House correspondent for ABC News, has been hired as the Defense Department’s on-camera briefer… Morrell, 38, will become a familiar face of the administration on television and the Web. The official said that a working journalist was chosen by Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates in an effort to improve press relations at a time when the administration is under pressure to show progress in Iraq.”

How much do you want to bet that this new "PR" person is going to be singing the praises of the Pentagon, the military, and this administration? How much do you want to bet that you're never going to hear about the bad things happening in Iraq? It's going to be all sweetness and light-hearted crap!! It's really going to be just bullshit!! We all know what's happening in Iraq. No amount of "PR" is going to change that. We all know this is just more propaganda bullshit spewed in an effort to make it look like this war is a GOOD THING.

Under pressure to show progress in Iraq? So what, are you just going to make shit up now? Oh look, they love us!! They're greeting us with flowers, and hugs. Oops, maybe that was a bullet and a bomb!!

If Jesus Christ himself was hired by the Pentagon to make them look good, Jesus Christ would tell you this is bullshit!!

The "Gay Bomb"

No, this is not a joke!! The Pentagon seriously considered attempting to build a "gay bomb" to be used on enemy fighters.

The U.S. military sought to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting, a report confirms.

Yes, because we all know that gay people just can't keep their clothes on. All they think about is sex, sex, and more SEX. They're not capable of holding any other thoughts.

As part of a military effort to develop non-lethal weapons, the proposal suggested, "One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior."

"The Ohio Air Force lab proposed that a bomb be developed that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soldiers to become gay, and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistibly attractive to one another," Hammond said after reviewing the documents.

"The notion was that a chemical that would probably be pleasant in the human body in low quantities could be identified, and by virtue of either breathing or having their skin exposed to this chemical, the notion was that soldiers would become gay," explained Hammond.

Apparently they've been puffing the Magic Dragon a little too much!! Damn!! What kind of braindead idiots do we have running this country? I mean seriously, a gay bomb? Of course, spraying someone with an aphrodisiac is how someone becomes gay. These people are about as braindead as a person who is medically BRAINDEAD!! A chemical to turn someone gay? Get a life!!

This would be laughable if it weren't serious. Do these people not understand that being gay isn't a choice? Do these people not understand that you can't just turn someone gay, that they're born that way? Apparently not considering that they think they can create a chemical that will turn someone gay. DAMN!! Get real!!
