One Year Later of Shock and Awe
 

 

We saw the murderous dictator fall
we cheered, we sang
with glad refrain
as the statue of Saddam the
madman, Hussein toppled

by Iraqi people whom he
oppressed and tortured
gassed his own people
maimed little children
with no compassion or mercy

From palace to palace he¹d run
hide with those bloody
thug sons by his side
until the day they met the
business end of a soldiers gun
that ended their ³fun.²

Evil spawn of evil he...
found living in a spider hole
that describes the end
of his reign and his
people will determine
his plight - not his way
sneaking around at night
filling the people with fear
oh no, he will get to hear
the charges of his murderous crimes
and stand before the judges of his kind
spend the rest of his miserable life on earth
in better conditions than he meted out...

Freedom lives now for Iraqi people
conditions improve with a helping hand
from nations across the worlds¹ lands
 

They are learning to trust again
and smile, study in schools,
work for their livelihood
unhindered by the bloody dictator Hussein
Iraqi people are free to be...

Thought for the day :
"It's frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody bothers to ask you the questions."


Hallmark cards that never made it...
You are such a good friend
If we were on a sinking ship
And there was only one life jacket ...
(inside card)
I'd miss you terribly
And think of you often.


New State Slogans...
Nevada: Whores and Poker!


Male Language Patterns...
"You know how bad my memory is," REALLY MEANS,
"I remember the words to the theme song of "F Troop",
the address of the first girl I kissed,
the Vehicle Identification Number of every car I've ever owned,
but I forgot your birthday."


Female Language Patterns...
"That's Okay"
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman
can say to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding what the penalty will be for whatever you have done.
"That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and in conjunction with a raised eyebrow "Go Ahead."
Once she has had time to plan it out, you are in for
some mighty big trouble.

Good Morning troops!! Good Morning everyone! Here is today's humor attempt!

President Bush visits Saddam Hussein to talk about the UNSCOM inspections in Iraq. As he sits down he sees three buttons in the armrest of Saddam's chair. When Saddam sits down, Bush immediately asks, "Why the three buttons in your armrest?"

"You'll see," says Saddam. After 10 minutes Saddam presses the first button, and WHACK a boxing glove hits Bush in the face. Bush grabs his nose, while Saddam just laughs. Bush manages to remain calm until, after another 10 minutes, Saddam presses the second button, and another boxing glove hits Bush in the stomach. While Bush is gasping for air, Saddam falls out of his chair from laughing.

Bush is highly annoyed by now, but remains outwardly calm. After another 5 minutes, Saddam presses the third button, and from under the table another boxing glove hits Bush, this time right in the crotch. Bush is really fed up by it now and breaks off the talks.

"We'll continue this next week in the White House," says the President.

Saddam, has tears in his eyes from laughing, and can only nod in agreement.

As agreed, Bush receives Saddam in the Oval Office a week later, and as Saddam sits down, he sees three buttons in the armrest of Bush's chair. As the meeting goes on, Saddam sees Bush press the first button and immediately ducks, but nothing happens. This doesn't stop Bush from laughing ... really loud.

Bush continues where he left off, and after a few minutes presses the second button. Saddam again reacts instinctively, and jumps up to avoid whatever is coming. Again absolutely nothing happens, and this time it's Bush who falls out of his chair from laughing.

Saddam is totally bewildered, and wonders what the hell is happening. But no harm has come to him, so he retakes his seat and the talks continue.

After a few more minutes, Bush presses the third button. This time, Saddam doesn't even flinch, but stays in his chair as though nothing unusual is taking place. Bush, however, is rolling on the floor, doubled up from laughter.

Saddam is not only bewildered-now he is angry. He springs to his feet and shouts, "I've had enough of this, I'm going back to Baghdad!"

Through tears of laughter, Bush says, "Baghdad? .... what Baghdad?"
