A 24-year-old staff sergeant was electrocuted when he took shower at a US army base in Iraq. He wasn't the first. At least 12 soldiers and marines have been electrocuted by shoddy wiring and construction at US bases built by Halliburton. Danger high voltage. No one is that inept. Halliburton is obviously working for Al Qaeda. The US is broke. We needed a new patron; the highest bid came in from Osama. Lee's press-on beard. The streets of Baghdad are safe. Combat has ceased. Yet our troops continue to die. Half our casualties are from botulism. We lost a whole division to exploding laptops and collapsing bed frames. But now is no time to go wobbly. If we pull out now, all the sacrifice will have been in vain! Sir! High-suction KBR crapper pulled Gaines down the head! Why? Why must they always sit down?
