The Sorry Americans

Okay, really these are "anti-war" protestors (for background info, see Powerline and LGF ) who've foolishly allowed themselves to be set up for my photoshop work. Hint to the terminally stupid: Don't seek out 14-year old girls in chat rooms, and never! never! never! put your picture on the internet holding a sign!

Hindrocket: "I do think I can predict how our troops will respond, however. I think they'll share my contempt."

Contempt? How's this: Is there some sort of distortion in this lens? Because this group has a real carny/midway freakshow quality about them. I've seen these people before, memory isn't clear if it was at a carnival or just on an episode of Jerry Springer. The Mrs says Judge Judy but I don't think heronner does class action stuff.

Hey, wait, is the bearded lady on the left smiling? Zere isn't suposed to be zee smilink!

See, here's a better prepared peace cluster:

Somehow I don't think they needed prompting to get that constipated-and-my-dog-just-died look on their faces "Frown everybody. Okay? 'Dead baby' on three! One... two... three... 'dead baby'! Thank you." Or this surefire frownmaker for those of every political stripe: "Okay on three, Kerry '04!"

Morons.

Here's a post from Alaa at The Mesopotamian they might enjoy ignoring:

...For us Saddam and his regime were in themselves, the most lethal WMD that cost our people hundreds of thousands of victims not to mention the destruction of the economy and the very fabric of society in our afflicted country... Saddamism is a cancer that we have yet to recover from. Western intervention lead by the U.S.A. was a God send to us, despite all the pain and misery that accompanied the operation and the repercussions that continue to rock the process of recuperation and rebirth of the nation. The U.S. soldiers are bravely standing in the thick of the turmoil and contributing with their blood and sweat not to mention the treasure of their land, towards curing us from the remaining ulcers of the disease after having performed the main surgery which no one else even dared even to think of.

... And without the slightest hesitation, we hail with Love and Gratitude our giant U.S. friend and his allies, standing with us shoulder to shoulder, braving the elements, braving death, calumny and hatred, shedding blood; to help us heal, to help us reach the shores of safety. And make no mistake, the campaign is winning and will achieve its objectives. Make no mistake; you have already created an allied nation in the very heart of the M.E. despite all appearances, which will produce all the long term benefits and consequences so many times reiterated by President Bush, to the ridicule and insults of the profoundly mistaken, of the profoundly hating.

America, stay the course - God, Decency, Honor, Hope and everything that is virtuous and right is on your side, beside the majority of the Iraqi people. America do not waiver, for you have never waged a more noble and just campaign in your entire history. America, we are winning, God’s willing, and Victory is coming sooner than many might think.

And some Americans choose to send exactly the opposite message to Alaa. Yes, there's a war going on, but while Alaa and I are on one side, some Americans are on the other. They're treasonous, but I can't rule out this explanation: "The left is poorly educated, exceedingly gullible, and easily led."

And where some see treason I see opportunity.

Join the fun! Send your version of one of these (you'll find the originals here)
or send us a link to your own post with a modified 'protest' shot.

Given that I'm in Iraq, it occurs to me that more people here will see these modified photos then will see the originals. In fact, I'll guarantee it.

And remember, never! never! never! put yourself on the internet holding a sign.
