Oww. I mean, how does a person survive this?

And on a slighly related note, there was a big NATO meeting in Romania this week. President Bush gave a speech that honoured the Romanian troops fighting in Iraq for naming their base camp with the necessary symbolism to bring to the forefront the morality of the mission they're currently fighting:

At this moment, 10 NATO nations have forces supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom -- including the "Black Wolves" of Romania's 151st Infantry. This battalion has given their base in Iraq a fearsome name: "Camp Dracula."

I guess this is the kind of image he wants to get across to the Iraqis:

No word yet on how the Germans' camp Hitler is progressing in Afghanistan.

I love the dispassionate tone in the reporter's voice regarding that pole incident. Camp Dracula was the front runner among other entries such as: Camp Wobegon, Camp Krusty, and Camp Europa.
