"Shock and Awe" Begins

FOX NEWS TV | 3.21.03

According to Saddam, MOAB stands for

MY OLD ASS BURNS

AAARRRRRRGGGGH!!!!!

I have been watching Fox almost non-stop (save for 20-30 minute 'naps') since Wednesday nite! I even took off work yesterday. So this morning I'm on my way into work, and Rush starts reporting that sirens going off in BaghDAD (thanks for the pronunciation, Shep)! I have THE WORST luck ever!

Someone should post screen captures from Fox for those of us cubicle bound saps.

It's time to rock and roll. This will be (my prediction) one wave after another for the next 24 hours. Fighters and bombers at night, cruise missles all day. Three worst jobs in the world today:
1. Iraqi radar operator who has been saying "I ain't turning this thing on boss, are you crazy".
2. Gardener at one of Sadamn's palaces.
3. Anyone who fires on one of our aircraft. The A-10's are airborne as are the F-15's.

Never fear. The end of the war will be a distant memory by the time your daughter makes it through ASVAP, MEPS, Basic, AIT and deployment. And, lucky for you as a parent, your daughter won't be on the combat lines unless she is a pilot.

Too bad my cat passed away recently. She would give them Shock & Paw.

[kevao]

Too bad. I was hoping we could pull this off without the shock & awe. Bush would have gotten huge political points for taking the country almost intact.

..."SURRENDER NOW."

Resistance is futile. Did you see any of our planes leaving the U.K. today?

[Mark Felton]

It's time for the PsyOps guys to start playing The Clash "Rock the Casbah" over Iraqi airwaves now.

[cdefreese]

Link to the Baghdad feed??

[kimchi lover]

I would be THRILLED if we didn't have to use the "Shock and Awe" plan. I would rather see mass surrenders and less loss of life. Wouldn't you?
I pray that the peace comes swiftly and that the people of Iraq will finally be FREE.

Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin' to the top
The shiek he drove his Cadillac
He went a' cruisnin' down the ville
The muezzin was a' standing
On the radiator grille
CHORUS
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that craazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the shareef
Had cleared the square
They began to wail
CHORUS
Now over at the temple
Oh! They really pack 'em in
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a wiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive
CHORUS
The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better eaarn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the Casbah way
As soon as the shareef was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare
As soon as the shareef was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed
CHORUS
He thinks it's not kosher
Fundamentally he can't take it.
You know he really hates it.

What is the hold up? Has it been canceled?

[MadIvan]

I live in the centre of London, not Gloucestershire, sadly. But I hear it was quite a sight.

Regards, Ivan

[Beck_isright]

Viacomm is definitely going to have to fire some people.

[Sabertooth]

Soon to be followed by "Chiraq and Craw," where the disgraced French President eats a "flock of caw."

[Mark Felton]

"Serenity now, serenity now............"
