Dude, you remember that Free Baluchistan country on the famous Ralph Peters Map of the Post-Transformation Middle East? Well, that was pretty much a confession.
Here you go. It was widely mocked some time back.
Actually, that seems perfectly plausible. I bet there's a lot of US-made munitions floating around Afghanistan, and it only takes one stolen shipment for the Taliban/AQ to have a field day.
What's great of course is that few people rememer that Iran wasactively fighting AQ & the Taliban long before we were.
Before/After. Hilarious. Of course, 100 years ago, this is exactly the kind of thing they would have done.
It's not funny because it's implausible though.
6: Agreed, still funny. I thinkt he past history makes it slightly funnier in that really bleak way.
Sadr & Henchmen hiding in the Marshes, no resistance at all in Sadr City. Gilliard say that demostrates astonishing discipline. Maliki making a deal with the Kurds over Kirkuk. Indications are that maybe the US is really going after Hakim/SCIRI, and maybe Sadr was just told to play it cool for a while.
Craziest war I have ever seen, not counting Lebanon.
OT, but I just got an inside scoop on the Edwards blogger flap. This hasn't come out yet, but Edwards got out from under it just in time.
Shakespeare's Sister uses emoticons. I believe that she also uses analogies.
This puts a whole new face on it. A lot of people have egg on their face now.
They would be Scarlett Johannsen, Keira Knightley, and some non-blonde. Maybe Penelope Cruz, but she may be too old.
How do we know that this Ogged's Mom person really exists? I think he's just making her up to support his librul reporting about the middle east.
How has a wonderful post like this managed fewer than 25 comments, when orgasms or israel generate 50 an hour?
If wars were carried out via gallows humor (as they should be), we'd be at defcon1 and shitting ourselves,irredeemably powned. We'd need to assemble taskforces to study ogged's mom, and counter-attack: British intelligence has learned that ogged's mom is of sufficiently dark complexion that sources indicate that she has a) attended night school on multiple occasions. and b) on many of said occasions, been marked absent by the attending instructor.
"But I keep telling you that even evil Iranians like the mullahs have an awesome sense of humor."
Funnier than the North Koreans?
