I certainly hope the Green Party has representatives over there, helping to police the area and recycle all the litter!

The last thing we'd want to do is litter Afghanistan. It's a Fragile Planet, after all, and we must Save It For The Children.

No meat products, either. No beef jerky, nothing tasty. But the bean-based contents DO guarantee they'll be farting into next month; methane co-generation is a definite possibility the Greens might want to explore while they're over there.

Couldn't help smiling at the utensils package put in with the food dropped. *S*...How civilised!

an elderly man mourned after a twenty-five pound sack of pinto beans fell out of the sky and killed his burro

So, at that point he had a bean burrito?

So, at that point he had a bean burrito?

I couldn't help laughing at this bit of humor.

What? No Martha Stewart hollowed out gourd centerpiece? No table cloth with elegant candles? My, my, my, what IS this world coming to?

Your comment about napalm

Tut, tut. Think of it as giving them a real day brightener.

Are we feeding the Taliban army, or are those soldiers Northern Alliance?

God Bless the USA. I am proud to be an American.

You know I saw on Worldnet Daily a company is selling toilet paper with pictures of Osama on it for $4.95 a roll. We should drop some of these over the Taliban controlled and occupied areas.

[Demidog]

Interesting. The picture or illustration above shows the plane dropping its cargo over the ocean.

[boycott]

And we're the evil empire? Jeezzzzzzzzz........

[TheOtherOne]

That one was a computer simulation, but I thought it interesting.

[Lady Jag]

Thanks for posting this! I, for one, am glad it's being done.

[Gelato]

I'm guessing Northern Alliance. The Taliban would never allow the women in the pictures to be without a burqa.

[The Real Deal]

CNN just reported that we have just dropped another 70,000 food packages.

[TheOtherOne]

The caption said NA.

Seems that if the taliban were in the area the women would be wearing burga.
