Too much money, too few brains
Unclear on the concept: a stretch SUV.
We have lots of them here in L.A. Stretch Hummers too. Some have Jacuzzis inside, others have helicopter landing pads on top. Wretched excess.
Of course, they are absurdly difficult to drive in crowded Los Angeles traffic, given the huge turning radius. And forget about parking them any place normal.

Israeli special forces refuse to serve in occupied territories
13 members of Israel’s elite special-operations force, known as Sayeret Matkal, signed a letter refusing to serve in the occupied territories. They said military operations there violate Palestinians’ human rights.
And from Iraq
Yet another misleading story…
For Baghdad’s Sunnis, hostility toward occupation is growing.
Residents of areas with ties to former dictator are frustrated at the lack of municipal services.
Note how these headliness imply the resistance a) is from one part of the population, Sunni’s who supported Saddam, only and, b) is simply due to the electricity not being on.
The truth is, the resistance is coming from Iraqis who don’t want a vicious occupying power in their country, a power that is destroying their homes, brutalizing the populace, and not letting them have any say in running their own country.
If your town was invaded and occupied by a foreign army that was flattening homes and dragging people away in the middle of the night, wouldn’t you fight back?

Miami police a ‘disgrace’ at protests, judge says
Police conduct was a “disgrace for the community” during demonstrations in Miami at the Free Trade Area of the Americas meeting, according to a judge presiding over several protesters’ cases.
In a court transcript, Circuit Judge Richard Margolius also said he saw at least 20 felonies committed by police.
“Pretty disgraceful what I saw with my own eyes. And I have always supported the police during my entire career,” Margolius said. “This was a real eye-opener. A disgrace for the community.”
