Thank you, Ivan. I always enjoy your posts for their content, but also as evidence that not all of Europe is insane. Come to America, we will need good men for the last stand of civilization...

Well hopefully Daschle is now going to be a good boy and sit in the back of the room.

He's not smart enough to do that. The man can't get enough of the taste of his own foot.

In these dangerous times, Dasshole's comic relief definitely hits the spot.

Ivan, you and your mates buckle down, ok?

The vermin will try to split the UK from the US through some murder-intended event in the next 10 days.

Keep an eye on those peaceful Sons of Allah, promise?

Of course, we should then deny having anything to do with it and then suggest maybe the French did it... (what the heck, maybe the arabs will take it out on them).

Let's see if I can work with this. The French have nukes, and the last time they didn't wave the white flag at the first drop of the hat was when Greenpeace wanted them to stop nuke testing in the South Pacific.

Probably because there are more people in Britain who
could pass as Al-Queida recruits who're loyal to Britain than in the US.

Britain did have colonies all over the world, you know.

Calling attention to the event is just what they would want to do; remember, this is terrorism. Spreading the radioactive material by hand, as it were, might be more effective, but what else can focus your attention like a large explosion?

Ref your picture: May a large pig fly up his arse.

That pisses me off.

I heard it was near impossible for Western spys to infiltrate Al Qeada.

Who said they were Western version spies?

Point taken about being hard to infiltrate, but if we (or UK) do, chances are it was not a James Bond look-a-like that does it. No?

You've answered your own question... key word is "Clinton."

[LasVegasMac]

I suspect what is going to occur next is that Blair or Bush will reveal that Al Qaeda got the radioactive material for this bomb from Saddam.

And that Saddam got help from the Germans / Frogs / Chinees / NK.

As the world turns. Not that we are guiltless.

Steve, I've shared this before today, but I have an awesome coffee table book "The History of World War II." 480 pages, 7 point font, just overwhelming. Here's some chapters and chronology that, after review, make me dislike the French:

Guadalcanal? Page 251. August 1942 - February 1943.
Alamein? Page 232. November 1942.
Battle of Berlin? Page 399. May 1945
Drive to Rome? Page 303, May 1944
Iwo Jima (God bless the USMC)? Spring 1945
Anzio Killing fields? Page 303. May 1944
THE MIRACULOUS RESCUE OF BRIT TROOPS AFTER FRENCH BETRAYAL AT DUNKIRK? PAGE 46. JUNE 1940.
THE FRICKING FALL OF FRANCE? PAGE 49. JUNE 1940.
THE LIBERATION OF PARIS? PAGE 340, AUGUST 1944.

France: What a country of gutless turds. The Nazis goose stepped right through L'Arc de Triumphe, and Parisians of both genders were queuing up to orally service their new Arayan masters.

Speaking of Pakistan, we read back in late 2001 (or so) about the 2 Pakistani nuke scientists who were interviewed by the CIA. But what very little was written at the time about was the fact that our "friend" Musharraf spirited at least 2 others out of the country before the CIA could talk to them. The two I know of were moved to Myanmar (the topic of a whole OTHER story, equally scary). Were there others beyond the 4 that I can account for? And if so, WHERE did THEY go?

Back during the Kosovo debacle, the ChiCOMs were given parts of stealth aircraft that went down, by the Serbs, as well. Guess what, now they've got stealth too!

[ArneFufkin]

Why wouldn't Pakistan hide and protect their top nuclear engineers and scientists from harm or seizure? If I were in New Dehli, I'd have my sights on them, that's a hallelujah, and can I ... yeah I got a witness.

[ArneFufkin]

Guess what, now they've got stealth too!

Yeah, they're short and hard to see.

I need a source for that comment

I don't know about this story. I heard it was near impossible for Western spys to infiltrate Al Qeada.

If Taliban Johnny can just go over there and sign up, how hard can it be?

Who is J W Bush?

[ArneFufkin]

I think he manages the Bijou Movie theater in Mandan, ND.
