Do you think the US Military proofread this statement?

It wasn’t clear who initially captured Bergdahl, but the U.S. command in Afghanistan said he was being held by the Taliban and condemned the video as a violation of international law.

“I’m glad to see he appears unharmed, but again, this is a Taliban propaganda video,” spokeswoman Lt. Cmdr. Christine Sidenstricker said. “They are exploiting the soldier in violation of international law.”

I don’t. Because if they did they would’ve realized how hypocritical it sounded. I mean, the US Military can’t say shit about violating international law after invading two sovereign nations, torturing thousands of detainees, dropping bombs on innocent civilians, and bank rolling warlords.

But of course the US Military doesn’t think they’re being hypocritical. No. The US Military thinks it’s doing the right thing. They think they’re a beacon of truth. A pillar of virtue. The sole guardian of democracy. They believe they’re the only thing keeping this crazy world of ours together.

And they’re not alone. Millions of Americans believe their military can do no wrong. They believe US soldiers are soldiers of God, fighting the good fight against Satan and fucking Muslims.

But not me. I know how fucked up our military is. I know how they allow felons and white supremacist to enlist. I know how they allow detainees to be raped. I know how they allow the killing of innocent civilians.

So it’s hard for me to get pissed off at the Taliban for showing the world how the soldier they’ve captured during a war is still alive, is fully clothed, and is being allowed to eat; an example US Military show follow.

Update: Stay classy Fox News.

I love seeing those in power fail.

The United States’ war on drugs has failed and will continue to do so as long as it emphasizes law enforcement and neglects the problem of consumption, a Washington think tank says in a report co-chaired by a former president of Mexico.

Contrary to government claims, the use of heroin and cocaine in the U.S. has not declined significantly, the report says, and the use of methamphetamine is spreading. Falling street prices suggest that the supply of narcotics has not declined noticeably, and U.S. prevention and treatment programs are woefully underfunded, the study says.

“Current U.S. counter- narcotics policies are failing by most objective standards,” the report says. “The only long-run solution to the problem of illegal narcotics is to reduce the demand for drugs in the major consuming countries, including the United States.”

And yes there’s even better news.

The Taliban and other warlords could clear almost half a billion dollars from Afghanistan’s opium trade this year — money that will help finance insurgent attacks, the United Nations’ drug czar said.

Antonio Maria Costa, head of the U.N.’s Office on Drugs and Crime, said the Taliban also appears to be stockpiling the drug to manipulate its price, after several years in which production surpassed world demand.

Afghanistan produces over 90 percent of the world’s opium, the raw ingredient for making heroin.

Of course we could just legalize and tax drugs since people will always find a way to get fucked up. This would take the power out of the drug dealers and give it to the government. Then they could regulate it, sell it, and make enough money to pull us out of this looming depression.

But they won’t do it. Makes to much sense.

That’s why I love these reports. They get my dick hard.

Now if you’ll excuse me…I have to go take care of an issue that just popped up…

…be back in 5 seconds…
