They’re all turban and no jihad.

My gosh, is this fellow priceless, or what!!??

[Texas_Dawg]

Tex, I'll be honest with ya. I don't have a clue what that means.

No problem.

Quality Street is an English chocolate company and George Galloway is a former radical left-wing British Minister of Parliament whose name surfaced as an ally to the Iraqis in several Iraqi government documents found after the fall of Baghdad.

I thought it might be Brit humor. Now, that's funny! Saddam must be missing all his old buddies. Jacques doesn't call, doesn't write . . .

Steyn bttt for later, thanks ...

Is Europe really that out of touch?

Well, I think they are. But I was admonished by another Freeper on a different thread to not believe that millions and billions around the globe think a certain way just because their media portrays a certain side of a story.

Of course, we all know how the masses carefully read and research news articles to gauge the merits of each and how the masses think critically for themselves. (/sarc)

The "all turban, no jihad" line is great. Another classic, "he’s pushing up daisy-cutters".

Miss Hawley has mistakenly assumed that Saddam thinks as she and Harold Pinter and Jacques Chirac do: that it’s all about America. When something blows up in Iraq and it can be passed off as a ‘setback’ for Bush, Miss Hawley has a good gloat. But it’s not much consolation to Saddam: he’s thinking of his gold toilet, and no matter how furiously Miss Hawley spins things he’s not going to be sitting on that ever again. They’ve sounded the last flush at the Presidential Palace. Likewise, for Mullah Omar.

The thread (with the analysis, humor, taglines, etc.) is almost as good as Steyn's editorial.

[jokar]

Well newbie

And I need you to explain to me how the internet and life works because . . . .

[Utah Girl]

All turban and no jihad ping for you.

[jokar]

My mistake. I didn't realize you were such an a$$hole.

Well it takes one to know one. Would you be kind enough to introduce me around.
