Have these cretins not seen the purple fingers denoting who has voted; don’t they know that the Iraqis, after new elections, have been forming a new government for the last five months; don’t they know that President Karzai was recently re-elected in a landslide?
Now, I am not some naïve, mindless redneck, I know these are not perfect countries. I am aware that we had a problem with General Ray Odierno in Iraq throwing himself around like a homicidal bull in a China shop but I am told he now ‘gets it’. I know we have had problems in Afghanistan with corruption and General McCrystals wildly unbalanced behavior and the “outright maniacs” he employed.
Even so, you would think the bunch of toadies at ‘Freedom House’, funded by the State Department, USAID and the CIA could at least lend a hand and claim that Iraq and Afghanistan are Free.
Hilary, please find enclosed $10.
Pass it on to ‘Freedom House’ but instruct them that if a country has an occupying US army it must, at least, be listed as Partly Free.
Yours Sincerely
Andy Bain
PS. Any chance of a nice photo for my daughter?

Dear Ms. Clinton,
I wrote to you back in July about the outlandish activities of a renegade CIA front outfit called Freedom House.
I take it you passed on the $10 and ordered them to smarten up. I hope you didn’t just trouser the cash! No…I’m only joshing I know you would never contemplate such a thing. Bill on the other hand…
Hilary, I just checked on Freedom House’s website and these F@#*in’ retards (to use one of Rahm’s favorite aphorisms) are still listing Afghanistan and Iraq as ‘Not Free’!!! Can you believe these morons?
In the circumstances here’s another $10. Please give the poltroons at FH a rocket and make them list any nations with an occupying US army as at least ‘Partly Free’.
Yours sincerely
Andy Bain
PS. Perhaps you should send your instructions via the CIA as no one appears to be listening to you.

My Dear Podhoretz,
Bill Kristol, on his blurb for your book, ‘Why Are Jews Liberals?’ answers, “God Knows.”
I know how he feels. Frankly, even on my third reading I am unable to divine what exactly you’re getting at, Norman!!
On page 277 you write, “…there is a fatal flaw at the heart of the theory that the liberalism of American Jews stems from the teachings of Judaism…If the theory were valid, the orthodox would be the most liberal sector of the Jewish community…for they are most familiar with the Jewish religious tradition…most deeply influenced by its holy books…”
Norman, isn’t this exactly equivalent to saying that the Mormons should be the most liberal community in the US because they take the Bronze Age ravings of the Old Testament seriously?
But we all know that Mormons are a stone-mad ultra-rightwing cult, which believes God lives on a planet in the Milky Way, comport themselves in holy underwear and are rabidly anti-caffeine. And wouldn’t the polygamist wing of Mormonism be even more serious than the currently monogamous?
Now, I’m not saying that ‘the orthodox” are an equally demented, rabidly irrational bunch of obscurantist loonies. The facts speak for themselves!
Norman, I know the concept is alien to you but liberal Jews may be the sane and sensible ones.
Please find enclosed a SAE and $10. (Have a snort on me!)
Could you drop me a line saying if you think I am on the right lines here?
Yours sincerely
Andy Bain

Dear Norman,
Thanks for returning my $10. You are a true gent.
I see from the Wall Street Journal that on the 30th Mar 2010 you wrote –
"I hereby declare that I would rather be ruled by the Tea Party than by the Democratic Party, and I would rather have Sarah Palin sitting in the Oval Office than Barack Obama.[19]
Norman, I now understand why I couldn’t make head nor tail of you book. Apparently, you are an incoherent nitwit!!
Sincerely
Andy Bain

My Dear Gates,
Are you aware of the nefarious activities of a website called ‘Antiwar.com’?
Today a grotesque individual describing himself as “Commander Jeff Huber, U.S. Navy (Retired)” wrote: -
“…our commander in Iraq, Ray “The Thing” Odierno, is floating the possibility of a UN peacekeeping force to replace U.S. troops in the country’s northern region…Odie has said some pretty dumb things in the past. It’s as if there’s no buffer between his medulla oblongata and his vocal cords; his ideas seem to spring from his deep subconscious and lunge straight into a microphone. At first glimpse, the notion that a brigade or so of UN sad sacks can accomplish what we have failed to do for seven years and change seems profoundly witless, even for the Desert Ox.”
Now we all know Ray is no military genius! In his book ‘Fiasco’ Thomas E. Ricks writes, “internal Army Reports said that this unit (Odierno’s 4th Infantry Division) – a heavy armored division, despite the name – used ham-fisted approaches that may have appeared to pacify its area in the short term, but in the process alienated large parts of the population…Fourth ID fueled the insurgency…They were cowboys…Every male from sixteen to sixty…that the 4th ID could catch was detained…And when they got out, they were supporters of the insurgency.”
Ok, Ray is no ‘Clauswitz’. But none of our warriors, no matter how dense, deserves to be ridiculed as, ’The Thing”.
Please find enclosed $10, which I hope you will use to sue the scoundrels at AntiWar.com.
Sincerely
Andy Bain
