Place is looking more and more like America everyday.

If by America you mean Alternate 1985 America, then yes.

It turns out we didn't bomb Iraq back to the Stone Age... just back to New Jersey, circa 1989.

What's a "wheelie"? I thought the proper term was "wheel stand".

FTFA: Most of the participants are motorcyclists, but some bring their cars to burn rubber. When they arrive, the crowd chants: "Our heroes are coming! Our heroes are coming!"

This chant must translate poorly, because I just can't imagine anyone actually saying this.

Jawhar and other bikers are taking part in newfound freedom in a central Baghdad parking lot, thanks to an improved security situation in the Iraqi capital.

Umpteen trillion bucks, thousands dead, economies wasted,
and all they've secured so far is a fricken parking lot?

Yes the terrorist have won and America will crumble to the ground in the next year and a half.

 
AbsolutTBomb 2008-01-11 07:45:43 PM  
Jawhar said he would never drive his bike so crazily anywhere else in Baghdad. Doing so would put his life at risk because security forces would think he's a terrorist or an outlaw.

Mission Accomplished.

Right, because the worst threat to an Iraqi's life is not wearing a helmet on his motorcycle.

Five bucks says the only "chicks" in the crowd are saggy old aunties telling the boys to get home in time for dinner.

Hot young chicks aren't exactly freely cruising the streets of Baghdad.

That's odd, try to do that kind of hoonage in a parking lot here in America and you'll get arrested and tazed, bro.

They must be talking about the troops surge.

I for one am glad that they have this opportunity to goof off and have fun. Something that some of us take for granted. Look at all the different types of recreation we have here in the United States. They don't have near as much as we do. If I could I'd fly over and put my bike on the line with them.

The best part is that Friday is like their Sunday. I can hear the guy over the loudspeaker "Friday , Friday , Friday!"

"You pay for the whole curb but you'll only need the edge!"

Ditto. So they're having stunt shows and enjoying themselves.

Oh, get a grip. The fact that you even put all of those groups in the same list is testament to your narrow worldview. I mean, come on...what the hell does the ACLU have to do with Iraq? Or Al Qaeda?

It's a good thing none of the democrats voted for it.

You're correct. The chant was actually, "Our gyros are coming! Our gyros are coming!" It turns out the crowd had just placed a big order to the Greek takeout restaurant.

I say right on. It's cool to see stories like this out of Iraq.

 
GreenDonut 2008-01-11 09:40:19 PM  
Regardless of what you make of this, an Iraqi riding motorcycles for fun or involved in any other sport is one less placing IEDs or assaulting Coalition Forces and his own people.

Ride on!

 
WilliamLeeTwitch 2008-01-11 09:42:10 PM  
Right now it's the wheelies on the motorbikes. Maybe next year, they'll be cruising in the import cars with the ground effects, spinning rims, hydraulic shocks, mega million mega watt sound systems, etc etc etc etc

 
kibitz_thingy 2008-01-11 09:52:30 PM  
You make that sound like its a bad thing.

I say right on as well, for the love of all that is good, let people have some fun. I think the US should spend tons more money on bringing monster truck shows, bungee jumping, and marijuana distribution to Iraq.

And no, I'm not kidding.

Those people have been ruled for years by an assclown who ran the country by brutal force for most of their lives, and now a foreign power is there being challenged by the violent equivalent of a bunch of dumbfark Benny Hinn fanatics.

Given demonstrations of each, honestly, would you rather watch some sport bike dudes screw around and have fun while having fun yourself with your friends, or mindlessly submit to some fake-ass weirdo religious crap and pray all the time?

As cheesy as monster trucks are, they're probably fifty times more awesome than church.

 
glenizen 2008-01-11 10:08:55 PM  
Subby is a douche
The kids are havin' fun
They're doin' it in a parking lot
They're not hurtin' anyone.

 
K_Trout 2008-01-11 10:12:00 PM  
Just imagine what could happen ...
if there was an oval track in Bagdad, and they had their very own Nascar event! Even the insurgents would get behind that shiate!
