End of the Myth.
AND FINALLY, I leave you with this, from Charles Krauthammer. On the run, Saddam enjoyed one final moment of myth:...
[Citizen Smash - The Indepundit]
Actually - I'm sure this whole Saddam capture thing was done on a Hollywood set using actors. They probably used the same set that was used in the Lunar Landing Spoof to save money. CP

Libya to Give Up WMD, U.N. Demands More Time
(2003-12-19) -- Just hours after the announcement that Libya has offered to give up its weapons of mass destruction program and submit to immediate, unconditional inspections, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Libya must be given more time to make the decision to abandon WMD.
"You can't just announce this all at once," said Mr. Annan. "Libya should invest the time to build a true multilateral coalition before inspections can even be contemplated. This is a 12-year process at minimum."
In related news, Democrat presidential candidate Howard Dean said that Libya would have destroyed its WMD program much sooner if the United States had not invaded Iraq.
"America will not be safer when Libyan WMD are destroyed," said Mr. Dean.

Dog Rules!
1. Dogs are never permitted in the house. The dog
stays outside in a specially built wooden compartment
named, for a very good reason, the dog house.
2. Okay, the dog can enter the house, but only for
short visits or if his own house is under renovation.
3. Okay, the dog can stay in the house on a permanent
basis, provided his dog house can be sold in a yard
sale to a rookie dog owner.
4. Inside the house, the dog is not allowed to run
free and is confined to a comfortable but secure metal
cage.
5. Okay, the cage becomes part of a two-for-one deal
along with the dog house in the yard sale, and the dog
can go wherever he pleases.
6. The dog is never allowed on the furniture.
7. Okay, the dog can get on the old furniture but not
the new furniture.
8. Okay, the dog can get up on the new furniture until
it looks like the old furniture and then we'll sell
the whole works and buy new furniture upon which the
dog will most definitely not be allowed.
9. The dog never sleeps on the bed. Period.
10. Okay, the dog can sleep at the foot of the bed.
11. Okay, the dog can sleep alongside you, but he's
not allowed under the covers.
12. Okay, the dog can sleep under the covers but not
with his head on the pillow.
13. Okay, the dog can sleep alongside you under the
covers with his head on the pillow, but if he snores
he's got to leave the room.
14. Okay, the dog can sleep and snore and have
nightmares in bed, but he's not to come in and sleep
on the couch in the TV room, where I'm now sleeping.
That's just not fair.
15. The dog never gets listed on the census
questionnaire as "primary resident," even if it's
true.

Weed them out!
We all know that it is a sin for a Taliban male to see any woman other
than his wife naked, and that he must commit suicide if he does.
So this Saturday at 4:00 PM Eastern time all American women are asked to
walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood
terrorists.
Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this anti terrorist
effort.
All men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their house
to prove they are not Taliban, and to demonstrate that they think it's okay
to see nude women other than their wife and to show support for all American
women.
And since the Taliban also does not approve of alcohol, a cold six-pack at
your side is further proof of your anti-Taliban sentiment.
The American Government appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists
and applauds your participation in this anti terrorist activity.
God bless America!
Thanks Bob
This was probably written for a summertime date but I think we should make it a year round crusade. They flood across the borders all the time so doing it once is not enough. We here in the warm winter climes will continue the good fight every Saturday and the rest of you can join in as the weather permits.

Do you feel lucky, Col Gaddafi?.
[Silent Running]
Maybe Moammar remembers that day the A-7's from my squadron planted those two 500 pounders in his tent. Then again those who know him say his brains were so scrambled he doesn't remember anything about it. Once we got the job done (half a day late thanks to the gutless French) I made sure I was first in line to help paint the tent symbol on the side of the two aircraft. One of my better days in the Nav. CP

These are Our Allies? Teddy Bears Banned in Saudi Arabia.
|
 Saudi Arabia has banned the importation of female dolls and teddy bears, giving merchants three months to dispose of such stock, a state-guided newspaper reported Wednesday.
Interior Minister Prince Nayef ordered the ban which was relayed around the country by the national Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Al-Riyadh said.
The ban singled out stuffed-animal toys and dolls of brides. It made no mention of male dolls and it was not clear if these were banned as well.

It's about time! At least one country has realized the power contained in these evil things. Why - I'll bet all the crime in America today can be directly traced back to owning one of these toys of the devil. I'll bet any court in the land would let you off for Capital Murder if you could prove your parents gave you one of these as a child.

Damn comments server is hiccupping again this morning. If the page is slow loading or the comments has no number in the brackets that's the reason. I may have to turn if off if this keeps up.

Protecting Godzilla. You know that missile defense system that won't work? Well we've got our first customer.
Japan decided officially Friday to introduce a missile defense system aimed at shielding the country from attacks using ballistic missiles or weapons of mass destruction. The Cabinet and the Security Council, Japan's top defense policy board, decided to start buying the system from...

Goodies From Santa.
I've interrupted this so-called hiatus a couple of times now, mostly for low-maintenance stuff like quotes, and a quick update on my Darth Vader ocular experience. I have to interrupt it once again, because I got the Christmas ad flyer from Academy (a one-time surplus outlet, and now a low-rent sporting-goods retailer, kinda like Big B). There is no excuse for anyone not to own a shotgun for home defense, not at these prices. A Mossberg Maverick 12ga. pump,...

Thinking about getting another 870. I feel most comfortable with that model because it's the one we use at work and I get to fire hundreds of rounds a year through it. Slightly shorter barrel of course. Now - where did I put that hacksaw?

Mad Media
[FOX News]
"Just days before the capture, I interviewed Maj. Gen. Ray Odierno, commanding general of the 4th Infantry Division, who told me that his troops would find Saddam near Tikrit. They did. But what the general didn’t predict was that the apprehension of this mass murderer would apparently drive many Democrats and their friends in the media around the bend."
"Media coverage of the capture has been as surreal as the Democrats’ conspiracy conjectures. After watching jubilant Iraqis celebrating Saddam’s apprehension, ABC anchor Peter Jennings saw only sadness and morosely concluded, “There’s not a good deal for Iraqis to be happy about at the moment.” Jennings “informed” the American public that life for Iraqi citizens is “very chaotic … beset by violence … [and] not as stable for them as it was when Saddam Hussein was in power.”

So??????????

"Look at this as an American & not a lefty, guys. Again, what's the problem? I don't think anybody could have predicted that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile, either. There are gazillions of reports & papers around DC & there could have been one that says that the nation could possibly be attacked by left-handed redheads from Antarctica wielding poisonous octopus saliva embedded in super-shooters. Okay, that's an extreme example, but with so many other items that are more pertinent and potentially feasible, that paper would've been put on the backburner and we'd be looking at the more probable methods. We'd been getting bombed in Africa & Yemen and it wasn't probable that what did happen would happen. If someone had put that at the top of the priority list, what were we gonna do? Since we still haven't done anything to upgrade our INS functions (can't offend the Latino vote) and get the Mohammed Attas thrown out of the country, we could've banned box cutters (but probably not) and.......well, that's about it. Why?
- It wasn't feasible on 9/10 to get legislation passed to arm pilots.
- It wasn't feasible on 9/10 to tell pilots that the cockpit door would remain closed at all times - no matter what.
- It wasn't feasible on 9/10 to get legislation passed to dramatically increase airport security (quadrupling - at best - airport waiting times).
- It wasn't feasible on 9/10 to get legislation passed outlawing everything from fingernail clips to nose hair tweezers (plus box cutters).
- It wasn't feasible on 9/10 to get legislation passed calling for citizens to be pulled aside on a whim and have their shoes checked.
You get the idea.
Condi Rice could've jumped up & down during a press conference yelling about the potential hazards of flying & terrorism and the people who would actually pass the laws would've weighed the issues versus the outcry to come from a public that goes berserk when they get charged for getting money from an ATM that isn't their banks and given a collective yawn."
