Swift, Silent....Screwed
How many Korans are destroyed when a mosque is car-bombed? Shooting an inanimate object is more offensive/newsworthy than lobbing mortars into Baghdad neighborhoods and disemboweling children while they are playing soccer?
It’s quite amazing CSI: Sunni Triangle can uncover this “atrocity” yet somehow not detect who is going to lay down their rifle and run in Basra. Marching out a 2-star to do the required ankle-grab will obviously uncork the goodwill geyser from the locals. Anyone willing to wager we’ll see a story within 10 days that some mindless obscenity will be committed in retribution for this “outrage”?
Based on command response, if I were some weekend-warrior ground-pounder on tour #3, I’d be looking for a “skeet-version” of the book. And what an easy out we really just gave ourselves – think of the headline:
“Hellfire missiles decimate local book emporium in Samarra. US to remove 2 brigades in response.”
But alas, I suppose PC doesn’t follow linear logic...
