Heartless and Mindless

So, tell me again who the enemy in this war is? Female Iraqi physicians who fall in love with American GI’s? Got it.

TWO US soldiers who marched down the aisle with Iraqi brides are to face a court martial.

“They’ve been formally charged with disobeying an order – no fraternising with the Iraqi people,” said Vicki McKee, mother of one of the soldiers.

Her son, Sergeant Sean Blackwell, 27, married a English-speaking Iraqi physician, 25, in August.

They exchanged vows during a double ceremony with Blackwell’s friend Corporal Brett Dagen, 37, and another Iraqi doctor in her mid 20s.

Both women had been working with US troops.

“How could they go to Iraq and not be friendly and fraternise?” Mrs McKee told the New York Post.

Now back to our previously scheduled program from Atrios featuring a letter from an aide to Paul Bremer who apparently believes that all the Iraqi people lived in caves and never even saw daylight under Saddam until we came along and showed them that they could walk on sidewalks and drink coffee and play cards and live, you know, life.

You’d think they’d be grateful enough that they wouldn’t let their little doctor hussies marry our boys, though. That’s taking “living life” just a little bit too far.

There is a war going on, you know.

Oh wait…not that there’s a war on…you know what I mean…it’s a liberation. But, that doesn’t mean people are free to just like, marry anybody they want…that’s fraternizing in a war zone…

never mind
