I expect PETA will soon be announcing they are sending costumed protestors to Iraq.
The warriors of Iraq’s new army excel at wearing balaclavas, eating raw cat and driving into battle at hair-raising speeds. The troops on the front line of the campaign to crush the country’s insurgency roared into action on the fringes of the “Sunni Triangle” recently in a convoy of pick-up trucks. The vehicles’ speedometers rarely dipped below 80mph. “We go fast, they not hit us. No need to be worried. Iraqi soldiers are very brave,” boasted Capt Haidar, although not brave enough himself to give anything other than his first name. “I am special forces,” he said. “To finish training we must catch a wild rabbit or cat with our hands, kill it with our hands and then eat it raw. I have eaten five cats. See how strong is the Iraqi soldier.”

I don’t see an issue there – whatever it takes to get Iraqi soldiers to feel good about themselves, whatever it takes to get them to get out there and support democracy (and replace us so we can go after Iran or Cuba) is okay in my book.
We can worry about cat’s rights later.
(Oh, that was “cats” and not “Kates”, right?)
I thought cat blogging was like, fashionable?
Prayers for the safety and success of these guys.
(Our neighborhood’s lawns, gardens, and kids sandboxes could benefit from a visit by Capt. Haidar and his comrades.)
Mmmmmm… Raw cat!
Cat! The other white meat! Interesting tidbit ( ahem, cough) of news on the Iraqi soilders. I wish them weel and do hope that they can make a quick sweep of my neighborhood. We’re swamped with stray cats.
Goodie! Send PETA to Iraq, and Bridget Bardot to me, and I’ll toss a Liberal on the barbie for her.
Cat blogging is fashionable (actually it seems to be a requirement) – just not Kate blogging.
I noticed the queen had a fur hat on yesterday.
Way to give it to those antihunting antifur idiots.
She’s a gun owning hunter, good for her, and hair!
Also cats make good lacrosse sticks… and MRE’s (meals ready to eat)!?,…thanks Iraq !
The Iraqi fighters had nothing on the Comanche “dog soldiers” who would ride or run 50 miles, fight a battle and be 35 miles away the next day killing their enemy in a different location…all they needed were a few grains of indian corn some raw dog or horn toad meat and they’re good to go for another couple enemy lives.
Maybe we can send a few to the nest PETA Moonbat gathering.
Hey! I’m a die-hard Conservative and long-time SDA reader as well as a big-time PETA supporter.
PETA stands for: People Eating Tasty Animals, right?
Western hypocrisy alive and well. These are brave men, who must know what is at stake: their lives and the honor of their families. It’s almost as if your Mounties were having to protect Canada. They are presumably all willing to stand exposed for hours at an IP recruitment station, sign up, get hired, and be willing to ride bareback in a pick up grooving 80mph dodging bullets to do what they can, life be damned, to fight for something. What does Canada think that something is?
Tom, are you directing that towards me or the commentors? Opinion here is pretty heavily supportive of the efforts in Iraq and the bravery of the American and Iraqi military.
It’s just a cool story!
I think Tom is saying they’re fighting for their freedom and Canada could learn a lesson from that.
Of course I could be wrong.
Jay,
Nothing wrong w/ Cuba friend. Personally, I enjoy going down there on a yearly basis for a few weeks holiday! You guys had your chance…
mojito’s hmmm.
