Monday, 10/15/01 is Lailat Al-Miraj aka as Muhammad's ascent to Heaven. Is Bush waiting for that time to bomb? Just a thought.

what does an ascent to heaven have to do with a descent into hell, where they shall be subjected to the eternal torments of iblis? i only hope we think to send a collection of iraqnids along with them.

I suppose if he wanted to piss off the entire Muslim world.

I would not be surprised to see airstrikes this weekend.

Of course he is. We must be sensitive warriors, loved by all. That's why we're ganging up on that big bully Israel -- makes us loved for a minute or two.

If he chooses 10/15, it will be for the new moon, not Mohammed.

Tony Snow made an interesting point on Rush's show that it is a full moon now and thus any sort of action would not begin until the cycle was done. His reasoning was that noone can touch our night vision equipment and thus we'll wait until we have maximum advantage, ie - when the deserts of Afghanistan are as dark as Osama's heart.

To: duckman; Mudboy Slim.......and now, a word from Randy Newman
From the album Sail Away, Reprise Records (1972).

Political Science

By RANDY NEWMAN

No one likes us -- I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens

We gave them money -- But are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us -- so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them

Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada's too cold
And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one
There'll be no one left to blame us

We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an All American amusement park there
They got surfin too

Boom goes London and boom Paree
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono
And there'll be Italian shoes for me

They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now

Full moon in Afghanistan tonight. Not a good time for our special ops people to start an attack.

"Terrorist's, get ready for those 70 virgins with non removable bikini chastity belts."

LOL...I thought it was 40!! I'm gettin' so old I don't even know what I'd do with 70 virgins if I had them...do they all nag ya and tell ya to take out the garbage and to quit FReepin' so much? After ya de-virginized 'em, it don't sound like all that much fun. Nope, not at all.

LOL and FReegards...MUD

10/15 is a good date for other reasons. The new moon is officialy on the 16th. However, the 15th will be dark enough for our initial sorties.

But a full moon wouldn't preclude missile strikes, would it?

So many folks have been saying that lately...call me a Contrarian, but when that many people agree on something, it's gotta be Wrong!!

Good Randy Newman. Then there's always the Kingston Trio song that ended:

There's rioting in Africa;
There's strife in Iran.
What Nature doesn't do to us
Will be done by our fellow man.

If memory serves, every US military operation since the start of the Reagan Administration has been launched on the new moon. "Dark for dark business" to quote Tolkien.

Not only do they nag, but you will need 70 credit cards to Nordstrams!

Bomb what? There are very few Bombing targets left in that region. Forget the bombing.

I want troops with flame throwers going cave by cave.

We're fighting a force the size of a High School glee club. We have to wait until its pitch black to do that?
