As the Pres gives pep talks to the troops in the Mideast, the CENTCOM Sergeant Major makes a typical old soldier faux pas.
The senior enlisted man in Central Command, Sgt. Major Dwight Brown told the troops before Bush’s appearance, “I don’t want any damn catcalls from the crowd. We have the president of the United States coming to tell us what a great job we did destroying those heathen up in northern Iraq.”
Hmmm… Wonder what the word “heathen” could be spun into by either side of the political debate. heh
Heathen: The guys who the United States entrusted with Weapons of Mass Destruction when they were at war with other, more dangerous heathen from Iran? 😉
The war, amigo, was quite boring in comparison with the way everyone is spinning everything in the aftermath, me thinks.
