dude, it's nobody's business but the turks.
remember duke cunningham, ace fighter pilot and loveable scamp recently sentenced to eight years in prison for taking bribes? a republican candidate in the special election to fill his seat, one howard kaloogian, claims on his election website to recently have bravely risked life and limb to travel to iraq. once there, he was pleasantly suprised to find it calm, stable, and a great place to take the kids! he even took pictures of downtown baghdad, to show the real truth all the liberal media playa haters refuse to report!
one reason the media might not be reporting on all this calmness and stability in baghdad is the fact that it is actually occuring in.... uh.... istanbul.
(no word on whether he was savaged by wild dogs, though. martin, now you can tell everyone your leg wound was the result of 'sectarian violence'!)

This is the best thing I've seen all day. And, arguably, ever.
t3h w1nnar si teh intarnets!!1
(excuses being given by kaloogian thus far include 'we couldn't take any pictures with any arabic letters in them for... SECURITY REASONS! the terrorists could FIGURE OUT WHERE WE WERE and then TARGET THE AREA!' and 'um, my webmaster put up the wrong picture. we had a lot of pictures! and the guy who had the camera had a layover in istanbul, and....')
it's even funnier when you consider that a subway entrance is clearly shown in the shot, and that just yesterday the bush administration announced the start of a four billion dollar project to build baghdad a subway. 'cause they don't, you know, have a subway.
also the whole girl-in-a-tanktop issue, but hey.
