why do we allow the left

[silverleaf]

Well we obviously need to start beaming "Desperate Housewives" and "American Idol" into Baghdad to pick up those prime time viewers. An underground but accessible porn channel would also divert some of those jihadis from fantasizing about virgins in heaven.

"We will not surrender. Either death or victory," he vows...

I for one vote for their death.

Any else agree?

AnyONE else agree?

[SolidWood]

I agree. :)

The Military Channel is running a report about Company "A" in Iraq.

They are dealing with Sunnis in the Al Anbar province. Our brave Marines all say that they "Circle Talk", which is a code word for lie, about everything.

They also say that if they are given access to the Internet, all they do is surf PORNO the entire time they are on.

So, this is the answer, start up a PORNO channel and place pro American pop-up ads on the screen, without any blocker programs available.....

If we can't hone in on that broadcast signal and vaporize the facility, then we've got no business there.

It was being broadcast out of Qatar and we were able to get them to shut it down. It has now moved to Egypt. We have asked them to shut it down but so far they have refused.

[The Great RJ]

Sounds just like CNN.

I suspected my proposed "fix" was too damn easy...thanks. Hey, maybe we can insert a little chip or widget on those satellites to solve such eventualities in the future?

[rbookward]

I was a little quick on the trigger too. (Or slow between the ears.)

Just find the site of the up-link and...

Anyone have the LAT/LONG of the broadcast signal????
