Pentagon to Spend A Gazillion Dollars on Iraq Equivalent of ‘Slate’

The U.S. command in Baghdad is seeking bidders for a two-year, $20 million public relations contract that calls for monitoring the tone of Iraq news stories filed by U.S. and foreign media.

Hey US Command, tell you what: give us, like, one million bucks, and we’ll get ya started with fucking Google news alerts and Bloglines.

No, no — don’t thank us. Thank your own astounding ineptitude.
