It was on this day, 01 Feb 05, that the terrorists in Iraq completely jumped the shark. They will never get their legitimacy back from this one, no matter what they do.

This is the first thing they've ever done that has elicited something other than contempt from me. They're either blithering morons or they have a sense of humor.

Hmmmm, so hard to choose...
