OK, cue the pancake jokes!

I was cruising Gaza on Google Earth and they’ve marked the spot where she got flattened.

They will not, however, allow me to upload pancake or IHOP photos to the at location ;)

It’ll fall flat on it’s face...................

Now, under apparent US pressure, the Israeli government has agreed to allow them entry so they can testify. Corrie's parents, Cindy and Craig, will also fly to Israel for the hearing.

This has Barry written all over it.

"It’ll fall flat on it’s face...."

Defense attorneys have already filed a motion to squash.

from the article: “according the family lawyer, Hussein Abu Hussein.”

What are they suing for. She accomplished her goals. A ‘shield’ by definition, comes between a bullet or other force, and something else. She came between the ground and a bulldozer.

[Red Badger]

I’m sure their attorneys will try to bulldoze their way through the courts................

[Venturer]

You stand in front of a Bulldozer and you are suffering from a terminal disease. Stupidity.

She got what she asked for, so many of us in life do not get that.

[null and void]

...grounds for dismissal?

[Rummyfan]

Poor little brainwashed idiot. I’ll say prayers for her parents though, that they wake-T-F-U.

[Mr. Lucky]

The Plaintiff’s chances appear extremely thin.

They’ll get rolled in court, I predict.

[Red Badger]

I’m sure they can scrape together a pile of evidence...........

[SW6906]

Another grave I’ll have to piss on.
