"New Testament"

Gemini Cricket · 05-27-2005, 08:03 AM

Hold on to them hats and glasses... this is outrageous.

From Americablog.com.

A clever AMERICAblogger sent me the following link to the US Department of Defense's own Marine Corps Web site. It shows a photo taken May 5, 2005 in Iraq. It's a photo of a US tank dubbed the "New Testament" - the name of the tank is written across its barrel.

Link to blog.

This was posted on the 23rd and I followed the link myself to the picture. As of yesterday or the day before, the picture was gone.

Should I blame Newsweek for this one? Lyndie England?

"Our holy war is more righteous than your holy war!"

Or how about,

"What's the big deal? It's just an advertisement for the novelization of Passion of the Christ."

That's just tacky.

The official Marines' site pulled the picture. Oh, there's a suprise.

The New Testament is my second favorite part...very cool ending. First place is a two-way tie between Adam & Eve and Moses. Honorable mention goes to Noah and all that freaky animal sex. If the ark is a rockin'....

Nope, not a religious war at all.

So many reasons to be so very proud.
