REAL American men, dont have time for the over 2 million Iraqi and Afghan civilians that died as a result of their genocide. real men stand for conservative and christian values. real men are republicans, and proudly serve their country in war. real men like this plan a presidential bid for 2012, and have the backing and support of thousands of proud republicans. real american men support the troops. they have no time for those that dare question their infallible right to slaughter whoever stands in their way. after all, they are american, and american is no.1 and can do no wrong and never be defeated, because it has god on its side!
but when reality intervenes in the posturing of these cowards, it tends to have a rather frightening effect. hahaha.
as REAL AMERICAN HERO general petraeus is questioned by a congressional hearing about claims that afghan president hamid karzai will most likely soon switch his allegiance from the invading forces to the taliban, you can hear reality/fear/guilt overwhelm his nervous system at
00.11 seconds, as he faints and falls off his chair.

In the five minutes before he fainted, he turned pale, his eyes began to glaze over and his speech slowed down as if he had trouble gathering his thoughts. He was repeatedly sipping from a glass of water.
Reflecting opinion among politicians in Washington that there will be only a token withdrawal next year and that the US will be in Afghanistan for years to come, Levin asked Petraeus if he fully supported Obama's deadline. Petraeus, who had earlier in the hearing qualified the deadline, saying it would be based on conditions on the ground, hesitated for what seemed like an embarrassingly long time. He finally said the military had to be careful with timelines.
Levin asked him if that was a qualified yes, a qualified no or a non-answer. Petraeus said it was a qualified yes.
McCain questioned him about an Afghan intelligence chief liked by the US but sacked by Karzai last week who claimed Karzai was losing faith in the US and planned to shift his loyalty to the Taliban. It was about then that Petraeus collapsed. After being escorted out, Levin, McCain and other senators milled around their desks. Levin made a brief announcement to say Petraeus was recovering: "He's eating. He probably didn't have enough water to drink coming in here this morning."
well they don't call it the graveyard of empires for nothing.
