WABOC, The New Hanoi Jane

WABOC is one of those "guy" acronyms that has been around slightly longer than dirt. It stands for "what a bunch of crap." And that crap is starting to hit the fan, so watch the lefties flee to avoid getting any on them. Since most anti-jihadists have probably read the transcript released by ABC, here are only some salient excerpts.

ABC News: Insurgents Justify Release of Jill Carroll in Web Tape

March 30, 2006 — - ABC News has found a video on an insurgent Web site showing U.S. reporter Jill Carroll before she was released by her captors in Iraq...Below is a partial translation of the video:

Voice in tape: What will you tell the American people?
Carroll: Well, first of all I want them to be able to understand, I want them to understand the Mujahedeen, truly. There are a lot of lies to come out of the American government, calling the Mujahedeen terrorists and other things and I think it's important that American people hear from me the Mujahedeen are only trying to defend their country.

This is only a jihad to stop an illegal and dangerous and deadly occupation so I think it's important that people see the Mujahedeen are people that we've seen in our entire history resisting an occupation trying to fight a foreign force in their land, it's their country and they have a right to fight for their own freedom so I want people to understand that it's not people that like to kill, not people that like violence but people who love their country, people who want to see their country free from an occupation and also I want them to understand that the situation in Iraq in general, how difficult it is here, people don't have electricity, people don't have water, children don't have safe streets to walk in, women and children are always in danger.

People are killed left and right on the streets without any reason. People die everyday from the bombings and shootings of the army and all these things. So I think people need to understand in America how difficult life is here for the normal, average Iraqis. That everyday is a matter of survival, life and death for most Iraqis and thousands and thousands and tens of thousands of Iraqis have lost their lives here because of the occupation.

I think Americans need to think about that and day to day how difficult life is here, how terrifying it is for most people to live here everyday because of the occupation.

Voice: Do you think the Mujahedeen will win against the American Army?
Carroll: Oh definitely. Things are very clear to see even now they're already winning. Everyday there are soldiers killed. Everyday humvees are blown up. Helicopters are shot down from the skies. Everyday, it's very clear that the Mujahedeen have the skills and the ability and the desire and the good reasons to fight that'll make them ensure that they will win.

Voice: What do you feel now that the Mujahedeen are giving you your freedom while there are still women in Abu Ghraib living in very bad (unclear)?
Carroll: Well, I feel guilty honestly. I've been here, treated very well, like a guest.

I've been given good food, never, never hurt while those women are in Abu Ghraib. Terrible things are happening to them with the American soldiers are torturing them and other things I don't want, I can't even say, so I feel guilty and I also feels it shows the difference between the Mujahedeen and Americans, the Mujahedeen are merciful and kind that's why I'm free and alive.

The American army they aren't [...not clear...] I feel guilty and I also feel that it just shows that Mujahedeen are good people, fighting an honorable fight, a good fight while the Americans are here as an occupying force treating the people in a very, very bad way so I can't be happy totally for my freedom, there are people still suffering in prisons and very difficult situations.

Tomorrow morning is when the Talking Pundit Heads are let out of the asylum to descend like returning salmon onto the network news interview shows. Want to take bets who will be the first to EXCUSE Carroll for any number of reasons, not the least to declare her a victim of disease--the Stockholm Syndrome? Step right up because all bets end as the Sunday news shows come on.

Let me step up. What I write will not show up in liberal or conservative blogs and certainly not in the main stream media, whether print, internet, or broadcast. The words of Jill Carroll are not some mental condition. This is not "Stockholm Syndrome." It is treason. We have Hanoi Jane reincarnated. I am not sure that this classic Leftist pap Carroll spouts differs in any way from the pap she spouted before capture.

How about a new pool? Who, if anyone, in our gutless government will dare to call it treason or dare even to try to prosecute Carroll for it? No rush on this one. You can measure the progress of this pool by clocking glacial movement.

One last bet. Want to take odds on the entire Carroll Caper having been contrived from the very first?
