I thought the US gov't didn't condone biological warfare.

Great, now a bunch of fat ass Iraqis will be suing soon.

Oh my God in Heaven.... I just had the worst thought: Imagine what British Army MREs must taste like.

The horror!!

A spokesman for the two restaurants, Atef Bassent, said: "I hope we will do good business here."

Capitalism at it's best. Rock.

Dive by shootings, fast food, we HAVE Americanized Iraq!! Victory is ours!!

 
OBB 2003-04-20 07:09:44 PM  
I bet there's gonna be a lot of Arabs with really smelly left hands...

(I know the trucks are on the base - you get my point)

 
InternetSecurityGuard 2003-04-20 07:10:39 PM  
Leave it up to private enterprise to fill the void left by the government. This isn't surprising since the pizza delivery guy will beat the police to your door in a lot of places.

err... nope

why o why

didnt know this was common

Arabs don't use toilet paper. They wipe their behinds with their left hand, and eat with their right.

 
Farkus5000 2003-04-20 07:18:10 PM  
what the hell is america coming to? we place crap food over the health of our soldiers. it may be true that we have the best backing for our troops in the field but 9/10 of the support team is probably flipping greaseballs

mmm...jihad...



I RECKON THEM'S GOOD EATIN'!

 
CerebralParsley 2003-04-20 07:18:48 PM  
That's why the really friend left handed people stay at home.

To prevent the shaking of hands.

Unless you're William Frawley.

 
Quickdraw_McGraw 2003-04-20 07:19:12 PM  
Alright! *now* we'll win over those Iraqi's for sure.

Maybe next they can learn sanitation.

 
OBB 2003-04-20 07:21:40 PM  
Correction: Arabs USED to not use toilet paper... now they do, but offering your left hand to someone is still considered taboo.

Wonder if the Iraqi Flaming Feathered Gazelle will end up on the menu?

McFlamer?

 
Epistax 2003-04-20 07:25:42 PM  
They officially have the right to hate us

 
Matrixcrawler [TotalFark] 2003-04-20 07:27:40 PM  
Spoticus where did you find that pic? My roommate and I have lost all composure laughing at it.

 
wildeyedlunatic 2003-04-20 07:29:04 PM  
Pizza Hut is PepsiCo owned. "Pepsi, the (chosen for them) choice of a new nation."

 
Comfortably_Numb 2003-04-20 07:34:04 PM  
So...will you still be able to get your choice of ham or saugage with any breakfast meal? Hmmmm.

 
CerebralParsley 2003-04-20 07:36:55 PM  
Trying again.

Ask for the Grand Salaam Breakfast.

 
Sinatra 2003-04-20 07:39:13 PM  
The Iraqi's worst fears confirmed. You gotta love it.

 
ZTigerX 2003-04-20 07:39:54 PM  
I'd say that a lot of the posters oughta read the farking article....the restaurants are on the base, for the soldiers.

 
Spoticus 2003-04-20 07:45:30 PM  
Matrixcrawler, I don't recall exactly, but I nabbed it figuring it would come in handy.

 
Comfortably_Numb 2003-04-20 07:49:36 PM  
Reading the article and posting a comment is not fun. Blindly posting a wise-ass comment is. That is the Fark way. Now, can I get my Taco Jihaad Grande to go, please?

 
CerebralParsley 2003-04-20 07:53:28 PM  
I am against it.

Taking American jobs away from Americans!!!

You don't see us looting wildly in the streets...do you?


Err.....heh.........

But for how long?

Also, what does it say about how large fast food corporations are viewed by this particular demographic?

They have that grilled chicken whopper thing. I'm sure they will. Self-grilling perhaps. Besides, our troops have already proven gazelle is better when cooked over an open flame.

What sauce would go best I wonder?

 
Bildo [TotalFark] 2003-04-20 08:22:01 PM  
Kre8iv_gal:

It's the flame broiled gazelle whopper with cheese... and feathers.

 
TheOtherGuyFromWham 2003-04-20 08:23:41 PM  
I don't know what everyone's freaking out about with all the Imperialism talk. They're fast food restaurants. Everyone thought it was reat when they did it in Russia. It's not like we're setting up churches, yet.

 
farkin_lady 2003-04-20 08:39:27 PM  
I love how we just walk into a house and take it over. Now will you please lower the gas prices back to 0.99?

 
Nabb1 [TotalFark] 2003-04-20 08:49:29 PM  
So, PepsiCo had the resources, supply lines and capability of getting into war-torn Iraq faster than humanitarian organizations have been able to get in and begin aid distribution, all to sell burgers and pizzas to British soldiers? I'm actually rather bothered by that.

 
dumass 2003-04-20 08:59:25 PM  
So I'm not the only one who gets the runs from a Whopper eh... (I think everyone gets it from that crap Pizza Hut calls Pizza)

 
TheOtherGuyFromWham 2003-04-20 09:36:02 PM  
"I love how we just walk into a house and take it over. Now will you please lower the gas prices back to 0.99? "

It's that knee jerk reaction that just because Iraq has oil that somehow the US is going to take over their country that's annoying. It's a couple fast food places. Even if the US completly took over the oil fields the economics of it wouldn't add up compared to what was spent in the wars and rebuilding. I know people are foaming at the mouth to make the US look like a conquering empire but the numbers just don't add up.

 
i_think_i_dwank_too_many_melonades 2003-04-20 09:52:50 PM  
SAD tag?

 
tarvuz 2003-04-20 10:06:43 PM  
We invaded and waged war when there was zero threat against us. We should bear the burden of rebuilding and we should not get the oil..but we(Bush and co)will get the oil.
