Report

A team of psychologists recently reported that thousands of US troops in Iraq have been infected with a rare mental disease. The symptoms are: 1) extreme violent behavior; 2) inability to reason or think independently; 3) rotting of the brain; 4) cowardice

After the psychologists became aware of the recent outbreak of ‘mad cows disease’ in the US they decided to investigate the possibility that these troops contracted this rare mental disease from eating beef.

The US military buys large quantities of beef from US slaughterhouses for members of the armed forces. This meat is almost never inspected. It’s often mixed with cow brains, spinal cords, butt holes, etc.

The troops have now been tested and the results are not good. It’s been determined they were infected by mad cow meat. When one of the psychologists was asked to identify the disease, she referred to it as ‘mad goons disease’.

Readers, if you know of any yanqui goons who exhibit any of the above symptoms, please call 800-MAD-GOON or email us at USOUTOFIRAQ@ANTIWAR.COM<\/a>
