[chlamor]

Is that "The Fridge" being screamed at by a square jawed Marine? This photo is real from the DOD.

Coming Soon! Police Academy: Baghdad!
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll want to run away

Horror movie: A U.S. soldier chews out an Iraqi police academy trainee.
Yes, that's an American football helmet. (DOD photo)


March 28, 2005 - FOR MONTHS NOW, we've been hearing that Iraqi police and other security forces are being trained to take over control of their chaotic, dangerous country.

But a Voice review of the Bush regime's official weekly "status reports" indicates that the number of police may have actually fallen by more than 33 percent in the past year.

And that's not counting Bernie Kerik, who was supposed to train them back in '03 but left before doing anything < http://www.villagevoice.com/blogs/bushbeat/archive/000561.ph

5. I didn't know Haliburton had a

football team.

7. Halliburton doesn't call them football helmets.

They'd be "Headgear, protective, counter-insurgency training".
Probably charge about 5 grand a pop.

9. $3000 for plain white..

$5000 for metallic purple finish.

6. I wonder if the Iraqi understands what the Marine is saying.......

drill sergeant keeps getting his mother's name wrong. :shrug:
