Wuss....

We used to make gallons of PGA punch. On my 21st birthday party, we made 20 gallons of it, had 3 kegs, a case of Jack Daniels, illegal substances and a live band (I played some).

Someone said, "it's going to be a killer party" so I named it "Guyana" because we had the posion punch! (I know, bad).

It was such a hit I had people coming up to me for a year on campus..."dude, loved your Guyana party!"

I now sit at home and drink a few beers. Ah...aging!

Poor Shep. Every night he says nobody is watching him. I'm suffering from major sleep deprivation from staying up way past my bedtime every night to watch the Shep-Rick-Greg-Ollie show.

Conflict with Iraq: Battle near Syrian border designed to protect Israel

Saturday, April 12, 2003

By LISA HOFFMAN, Scripps Howard News Service

A major aim of the firefight underway near Iraq's border with Syria Friday is to stamp out embers that, if fanned, could engulf the wider Middle East in war.

U.S. commandos and warplanes, along with British and Australian forces, are pounding Iraqi units around the remote Iraqi border town of Qaim, a battle that has blazed largely out of sight of television viewers for several days.

Along with keeping Saddam Hussein and his regime from slipping out of Iraq to Syria — or weapons being smuggled in for Iraqi fighters — the purpose of the allied attacks is to ensure Iraq cannot launch ballistic missiles at Israel, Pentagon and U.S. Central Command, officials said.

"Our goal is to make sure (Iraq) is not in a position to threaten" Israel, U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks said Friday, describing the U.S. air strikes around Qaim as "preventive medicine."

It was from this approximate area that Iraq in 1991 lobbed many of the 39 Scud missiles that slammed into Israel, causing a five-week siege of terror that contributed to at least 16 Israeli deaths.

One of the biggest dangers the Bush administration contemplated as it prepared for war in Iraq was that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein would again employ whatever Scuds he had remaining — and perhaps load them with toxic agents this time.

Israel bluntly told the White House that if Saddam attacked with weapons of mass destruction it would strike back. That raised the specter of an explosive escalation that could spiral out of control throughout the already volatile Middle East.

To blunt that threat, clandestine U.S. forces took to the rugged western desert of Iraq even before the March 19 start of the war, hunting for Scud launchers. Since then, special operations reconnaissance teams, quick-strike squads and spy drones have scoured the vast western reaches.

Though little noted by U.S. Central Command briefers in Doha, Qatar, these forces have destroyed Iraqi command centers, missile sites, air defense systems, warplanes and bridges. They also captured three Iraqi airfields that they now control, according to Pentagon officials. And they have attacked Iraqi weapons convoys, taking the enemy soldiers prisoner, and hunted for toxic weapons caches.

This week, Central Command declared that allied forces have full control of the air in the entire region, meaning any missile launch could be immediately detected and countered.

For Israel, that is not quite enough of a guarantee that it can let down its guard. On Thursday, Israeli army commanders decided to keep the nation on high alert for the time being.

"The potential threat against Israel is still not over," said Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz, "and there is a need for patience."

I'm waiting for Laura Ingraham on the radio. That's when I break out the beer or the wine.

[GOPyouth]

Down in N'awlins and well, anywhere in Weeeziana they have Coon-Dog Punch. heh heh Pretty much the same thing. Gallas of just about everything thrown in.

There's a drink down at the Tropical Isle in New Orleans and Austin that will about floor you. I think it's only Everclear and Apple Pucker or something like that. It's a lot of it, very sweet, and very leaded.

Everything about Clinton evokes either The Simpsons or Seinfeld.

The shows, at their core had endearing characters who were dumb as rocks and dirt and/or remarkably sleazy.

Especially Seinfeld. The characters we so utterly corrupt, but loveable...hence the obvious popularity of that gang of would-be Baathists.

[Jackie-O]

I bet they would sell like hotcakes!!

[tutstar]

You are so right about staying up too late! I'm fixin' to put some coffee on...LOL

If we found an underground prison there ought to be a lot of live reports. I hope Fox gets through to SkyNews , they are with the Brits to get this confirmed.

[Lauratealeaf]

She's just like one of my kids..we call her baby-dog too but her name is Gina. Mom says it means little Princess.

My son and his wife have a black lab named Gina!

Think how quickly you would want to discard!

[Fledermaus]

Tequila was the one I dropped. Two major tequila drunks was enough.

The last time involved hanging from 5 story buildings and driving a Nissan on campus sidewalks.

I haven't had a drop since.

[ztiworoh]

Labs are such good dogs, if I didnt already have two Golden retrievers Id get one, either that or an Australian Shepherd. My one dog is pregnant no though, Im looking forward to having the little pups around.

[GOPyouth]

You've gotta see Old School. You'll appreciate it.

I think you forgot three more brothers:

Peter Arnett Al-Tikriti

Tom Daschle Al-Tikriti

and Scott Ritter Al-Tikriti

LOL! Wankers of another name.
