Today's top world news clip in WSJ:
If this isn't proof we're living in an alternate universe, we don't know what is:
Panetta condemned the behavior and telephoned Karzai...
Excuse me? Is Karzai the new Taliban leader? Why would we apologize to him? Because US Marines urinated in his country?? Is Panetta suffering from the same liberal disease of apologizing first, apologizing fast, and ask questions later?
The Taliban also condemned the video but a spokesman said the outcry won't affect the insurgents' tentative talks with the US.
Huh?!
1) Obama told us the Taliban are on the run, fully disorganized, no longer a cohesive fighting force, no longer a worthy threat to justify a heavy troop presence. Here is a simple rule that shows Obama is running against the best interests of the United States: If your enemy has a spokesman, he is not decimated.
2) Talks with the US? Is Karzai part of these talks too? The Taliban has sworn against the Afghan Constitution and insist on an Islamic state. Are we in talks because of the old liberal disease of surrender first, surrender fast, and ask questions later?
We couldn't find a photo of the Marines pissing on dead enemy corpses, so we used an archive photo to convey the horrid act:
We consider society lost with reporting such as the reporting on this story.
The media jump on a story of Marines pissing on enemy combatants when the real news should be the opposite.
We'll feel better about society's future when the news of the day is:
This is what is wrong with America today.
From the sacrifices of previous generations, today's generation has a free pass from War. The nation can be fighting for its survival against a billion-strong Religion of Peace, and 95% of Americans can keep playing Xbox. Our military is so good nobody else needs to get involved.
UPDATE 10 minutes later...
Congressman Allen West, proud owner of our Commie Obama hat, responded to the unsightly act in the Weekly Standard:

"US Marine refuses to urinate on enemy corpse - faces court marshal."

Congressman Allen West, proud owner of our Commie Obama hat, responded to the unsightly act in the Weekly Standard:
I have sat back and assessed the incident with the video of our Marines urinating on Taliban corpses. I do not recall any self-righteous indignation when our Delta snipers Shugart and Gordon had their bodies dragged through Mogadishu. Neither do I recall media outrage and condemnation of our Blackwater security contractors being killed, their bodies burned, and hung from a bridge in Fallujah.
All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?
The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.
As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.
Agree, except no Article 15.
We encourage those Marines to do what their commander in chief would do. Say something like: "I mis-peed."

Q: Ann,
What do you think of the Marines who peed on the dead Taliban?
A: I have little sympathy for men who live their lives wiping their anuses with their bare hands after bowel movements, and who view as the pinnacle of human pleasure inserting their genitals and depositing their semen into the feces-laden rectums of boys and other men, who suddenly get squeamish about dead bodies being sprinkled with a bit of urine - which is sterile by the way. Those dead Taliban were probably the cleanest they had ever been in their adult lives after being showered with the righteous tinkles of those Marines. Ooh-rah. That is all. Carry on.

Howard Stern offers nuance and maturity to this controversial story:
These guys are warriors. And if a guy wants to take out his d**k and piss on a f***ing terrorist that he just killed, God love them! They’re into their job! Are you kidding me? If I was over there risking my life every day and some motherf***er was shooting at me? You’re g**damn right…I’d piss all over them...You f**k with us, we piss on your grave. That’s warriors. What are we kidding here? What are we playing a game? These are people who want to blow our asses up in the middle of the night!... Do you know what energy it takes to kill a man? And then you have to have some sort of release…You’re killing them. What do you care if they piss on them?
Guess what? We’re angry. We’re AN-GRY…Our people got blown up in a building. They all died. They had a choice: they could jump to their death or be burned to death. They were doing nothing to these people. Now, you want to play by the rules? I liked it. I think it’s a good message—not only will you get killed, but we’ll piss on you.
