Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-Az) took Afghan Commander, General David Petraeus, to task for what she characterized as “willful disregard of the environmental impact of our war effort.”
“There is no policy, no plan to minimize carbon emissions in our military activities,” Giffords charged. “Bombs are dropped and bullets are fired without considering the environmental impact.”
Giffords insisted that she was “not demanding an immediate halt to current military operations in the Middle East. I’m just saying that battle plans should include an environmental impact assessment as a regular part of the process before attacks are launched.”
She also suggested that the Army “put more emphasis on less environmentally damaging methods, like stabbing or clubbing enemy forces in order to minimize the carbon output.”

Give me a break. The country is being run by a bunch of fools.
It’s semi-satirical.
Pleae tell me that this was an SNL sketch.
Low-Carbon Bacon Grenades?
It is amazing how few see the “Semi-satirical.”
What is worse is that it seems there is no satire that is more ridiculous than the reality of our current government.

That’s freaking hilarious!

LOL! Good stuff!
Fooled me for a 2nd until the clubbing part, hee hee. I thought some idiot Congress person actually asked something about the carbon footprint of the Army.
Great. You pinged me twice.
Now I am twice as motivated to read it. LOL
Next thing you know she’ll be saying that bullets make the world heavier because they’re made of lead and are so very dense.
maybe they could hand bottles of Hemlock or supply steaks that are “dry rubbed” with the essence of puffer fish?
This woman is a prime candidate for being institutionalized in the Medical Lake facility near Spokane.
How about listing the 10 most recent Presidents....
....and then listing THEIR estimated carbon footprint?
You KNOW Obama is the WORST EVER.
We have GOT to get these idiots out of positions of power!
That is rich. I don’t think I have EVER read anything more humorous on this site. I believe this is the worst thing that could possibly happen. Nothing that I have heard before is worse than this. This is really far reaching even for Democrats.
That last line almost.. almost made me pee my pants! Thanks for the laugh.. heaven knows they are getting harder to come by.
I believed it....that tells more about our government than it does about me.
