From an advertisement posted in March on the Federal Business Opportunities Web site by the U.S. Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.
"In order to achieve long-term peace and stability in the Middle East, the youth need to be reached. One effective means of influencing youth is through the use of comic books. A series of comic books provides the opportunity for youth to learn lessons, develop role models, and improve their education.
The Contractor shall provide development of an original comic-book series. Knowledge of Arabic language and culture, law enforcement, and small-unit military operations is desired. The comic books will be produced in Arabic so the boxes will have to follow a sequence of right to left and top to bottom. The series will be based on the security forces, military, and police, and set in the near future in the Middle East. If the subject matter for a specific comic does not do well in its intended focus group then it may be dropped and/or a new basis for the comic will be selected.
A designated representative of the U.S. Army will provide thematic guidance, cultural expertise, and oversight to the Contractor. Additionally, photos of regional architecture, vehicles, and people, which will serve as a basis for the artwork, will be provided.
This will be a collaborative effort with representatives of the U.S. Army who have already done initial character and plot development."

Ya the okie Xtians are a bit terrifying, but not nearly so much as shiite muslims who enjoy cutting off the heads of prostitutes or gangrape. (and even cracker america is not quite as scary as the history of marxism.)
and that's Capricorn, is it?
naw, more from the Gospel according to Bertie Russell, O'Clown
Ah, I thought so, a split personality.
Still having problems with the rest of my diagnosis, but it's only a matter of time.
Let me just ask you, J; When you're sat at your PC writing this stuff, are you oiled up? Or maybe covered in embrocation?
And if so, are you in a cybercafe?
Instead of the fratboy ad hominem why not address the issue. In most europeans minds the US is thought to be worse than muslims and the communists---and given the bloody history of either of those factions that is rather, well, f-ed up. You'd do better converting the board into like "Absurdities of Islam" (and also Xtianity, Judaism ) but of course you don't have the balls
What 's this thing you have with fratboys, J? And I notice you didn't answer my question.
Also curious to know how you managed to see into the minds of most Europeans?
Forgive me for being ad hominem, but what else is there? You're just an arse.
YR the arse, mickski. Another blog of aesthetes who fancy themselves philosophers and anarchists. I doubt ya know Modus Tollens, much less God abd State. Bloggin' is not about discourse or analysis, it's about who's on the "team,". mate, and perfecting yr cheap punk slang.
You know, J, at first I thought you were just another troll, but I've since realized that YOU'RE the one with the compulsive need to keep coming back here. Seems like we're trolling you, only without even trying.
