#1 The trouble was, the troops had brought their wives. The audience wore the fixed expressions of people who were aware they were witnessing a bad idea in action.

oh puhleese! This article is a riot. These people at the beeb have their ascots screwed on so tight that they have lost oxygen to their brain.

oh, yeah. I'm sure that the wives were shocked! shocked! and horrified by (gasp!) cheerleaders. No doubt they hit their husbands with frying pans as soon as the cameras stopped rolling. You looked at her boobies! Dagnabit!

And where a poor Muslim child could see them no less. Quick change the channel to a good beheading or exploding jew - or their minds will be ruined by such frivolity forever.

#2 I guess it comes as a shock to the reporter that the U. S. military has not adopted dhimmitude as has the BBC.

#3 Any bets that among those supposedly horrified wives were quite a few former cheerleaders? Or that they wouldn't beef that much if their own daughters were cheerleaders some day?

#4 RC - unless the cheerleaders were shipped in, I'm sure they were their daughters, showing daddy their new routines.

#5 Got that in one, 2b ;-D And the ones who aren't cheerleaders are on the competition dance team, and can really dance. That poor BBC reporter is so far out in left field he's on the next diamond!

#6 We may both speak English, but clearly this reporter isn't speaking the same language. There's just a little culture gap about the width of the Grand Canyon here.

#8 Yeah, the beeber is a fruitcake, however, to his credit -- he recognized that Condi '08 is writen in the tables of destiny.
