OK, I nominate THIS one for "quote of the day!"
I think you've hit the nail on the head. We need to return to combat ops, not "policing".
I guess keeping the name of the leader secret didnt stop the IDF?
Well, AFP broke the detention of the four thugs thought involved in the Berg murder. It took Ap a week to confirm that. Where the he*l is the traditional media or are they too busy writing more stories about their shock that women's panties were put on teroorist murderers heads?.
Damascas is just too tame, let's send them into the fray in Iraq!
David St. Hubbens described the death of one of the Tap drummers as "Dying in his sleep ... on stage."
Going by memory, one of my favorite exchanges was...
Nigel Tufnel: Our second drummer died choking on vomit.
Marty DiBergi: He choked on his own vomit? How awful.
Tufnel: No, actually it wasnt his own vomit.
David St. Hubbins: "The detectives said it was a mystery best left unsolved.
I am so honored to be named the next leader of this terrific rightgeous movement...however..I must remail nameless and wear a hood as to not reveal my identity.
Geez..
I wish our founding fathers were around to fight these dirty pirates in filthy nightshirts.

Yep, good sources alright. AFP/it has been reported/Al-Brazeer/Palestinian meds and security forces. As I said, good unbiased sources. NOT
BTW, I realize it was tongue-in-cheek but it gave me a forum. lol
I'm glad to see Israel knocking off their leaders on a regular basis. They've forfieted their right to live among civilized humans.
Very cool sound track tribute!
Amazing how those gay fellows of Queen wrote so many great macho songs. There's something mysteriously cool about that.
Seems to me that HAMAS should cut to the chase on their next leader, by elevating someone who is already dead.
