Guns for cash in Sadr City today. We are idiots, they are laughing at us, ripping up the leaflets and burning them. I think we have no idea who we are dealing with, they are all savages intent on fighting, they love to fight, they hate us. Whose cash is that anyway? I don't want my money going to some thug terrorist in Iraq! If it's Saddams money fine.
And, since we control the oil fields now, why am I paying almost $2.50 for gas. They owe us for their freedom!! Forget the guns for cash, it's oil for freedom and anyone caught with a gun is dead if they don't put it down. /rant

Disney erects bomb barriers
Steel barricades block service entrances at theme parks

Walt Disney World has installed high-security, anti-terrorist barricades similar to those protecting the White House, U.S. embassies and nuclear-waste depots.
The hydraulically powered, steel barricades block the service entrances of the giant resort's four theme parks and were apparently designed to stop a 20,000-pound truck bomb traveling 70 mph.
The dozen or more yellow-and-black barricades are so state-of-the-art that the manufacturer recently shipped the same model to Baghdad, Iraq, to guard the new U.S. Embassy there.
Disney did not install the barricades in response to a specific terrorist threat against the parks, spokeswoman Jacquee Polak said Friday in confirming the new security measure. Rather, they are part of Disney's continually evolving "security plan," she said.
"We're living in a time of heightened security, and we're continuing to undertake strict security measures," she said.
Since the 2001 attacks in New York and Washington, D.C., homeland-security officials have warned that Disney's iconic theme parks could provide an inviting target for terrorists.While Disney has routinely declined to discuss the steps it has taken to increase security at its parks, some measures have become public. For example, last year the company persuaded Congress to close the airspace over Disney World to low-flying aircraft. And just last month, Disney began after-hours testing of metal detectors at the main entrances to its parks.
The Orlando Sentinel learned of the barriers when the installation work was in its final stages. Friday was the first day the Sentinel observed any of the barriers in use as a matter of routine. Polak said construction work on the barricades began several months ago. They have recently become operational at all the parks, she said.
