LOL! This is Pelosi's quote from yesterday...

"'I have absolutely no regret about my vote [AGAINST] this war. The same questions remain. The cost in human lives, The cost to our budget, Probably 100 Billion. We could have probably brought down that statue for a lot less..."

Well, foo! She might chip a nail. She'll let the Little People dig out the people in the underground prison while she watches a cleansed version on CNN (if it's reported all all).

Come on Bill..... Clowns give me the creeps..

[Aggie Mama]

Me too. I remember when I was dating DH, we went to visit his mom. She is a pack rat, so all of his stuff from childhood was in his room. In the corner was a freaky clown that was supposed to tumble back and forth. DH left for a second to ask his mom something, so I was left in the room by myself. All of the sudden, the clown started moving and playing "Send in the Clowns".

I was only 22 at the time, but I am convinced that is when I got my first gray hair.

I doubt the first face any prisoner would want to see when set free from a dungeon would be Pelosi....They would think they had died and gone to hell.

[retrokitten]

You got it. He was freaky on many levels.

Some recent history:

With the end of the Persian Gulf War (1991), yet another Kurdish uprising against Iraqi rule was crushed by Iraqi forces; nearly 500,000 Kurds fled to the Iraq-Turkey border, and more than one million fled to Iran. Thousands of Kurds subsequently returned to their homes under UN protection. In 1992 the Kurds established an “autonomous region” in N Iraq and held a general election. However, the Kurds were split into two opposed groups, the Kurdistan Democratic party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, which engaged in sporadic warfare. In 1999 the two groups agreed to end hostilities.

In Turkey, where the government has long attempted to suppress Kurdish culture, fighting erupted in the mid-1980s, mainly in SE Turkey, between government forces and guerrillas of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which was established in 1984. The PKK has also engaged in terrorist attacks. In 1992 the Turkish government again mounted a concerted attack on its Kurdish minority, killing more than 20,000 and creating about two million refugees. In 1995, Turkey waged a military campaign against PKK base camps in northern Iraq, and in 1999 it captured the guerrillas' leader, Abdullah Ocalan, who was subsequently condemned to death. Some 23,000-30,000 people are thought to have died in the 15-year war. The legal People's Democracy party is now the principal civilian voice of Kurdish nationalism in Turkey. The PKK announced in Feb., 2000, that they would end their attacks, but the arrest the same month of the Kurdish mayors of Diyarbakir and other towns on charges of aiding the rebels threatened to revive the unrest. There were also clashes in the 1990s between the Kurds of Turkey and Iraq.
