Here is TagBagger’s Pythonesque take on IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) which we banned in the previous post. Cynical? Or just calling a bomb a bomb. It was pulled out of GT comments.
1)The ‘good guys’ use REAL ‘Bombs’ – only evil terrorists use IED’s – because they are the bad guys
2)They are also bad guys because they refuse to fight fair by the definition of the “Coalition’ occupying armies – this is very bad, and shows a weak moral war compass.
3)The media uses IED, because it sounds cool, and shows that they appreciate the briefings they get from the good guys. They demonstrate their gratitude by turning off their camera as the Governor General is toured through the army vehicles that have been damaged by the ‘bad evil guys’ IED’s – if they didn’t, one might begin to wonder just who is good, and who is bad – which is a slippery slope.
Remember kids – Bombs=Good (esp. the new smart bombs that only kill bad guys and women and children who will at some point in the future become bad guys for sure)
IED’s=Bad – unfair evil war cheating terrorists heroically fighting the Western occupying armies in their own country… (Oh wait, I’m getting confused here) Bombs=Good, IED’s=Bad, UsGood, ThemBad – always remember kids – the ‘Other’ is always bad.

With reference to CBT’s comments on Gen Rick Hilliers intellectual superiority to poor old Peter MacKay (see comments at bottom of post)
Well, being from the riding of the Foreign Affairs Minister, and having consequent knowledge of his intellectual history, it would be fair to say that nearly EVERYONE has an IQ at least 20 times higher! Nice enough guy though!
