Q: "I am a long time lurker and new poster, somewhere along the line I missed the "All your (whatever) are belong to us" reference. Just curious as to where it's from. Carry on."

A: Baghdad Bob, the information minister for Saddam, used the "All your (your noun here) are belong to us" during the few days of the Iraq war.

Um, no. IIRC it was a Japanese official speaking about our bases in Okinawa after some Marines did some bad things to the locals. He wanted to kick us off Japanese soil and claim the land. He was quoted as saying (paraphrased due to the passage of time...), "All your bases are belong to us."

I should have pinged you on my reply as well...

I thought "All Your Bases Are Belong To Us" came from a Japanese cartoon.

I read that LeftyAndProud post here on FR last week. It is obviously written by a FR lurker.
