The Gulf War Drinking Game

I'm on a roll this morning - OK, George, make with the friendly bombs

I'm losing patience with my neighbours, Mr Bush
and
My version

Just heard a good joke:
The Ambassador of Saudi Arabia meets George W. Bush at a charity dinner. They shake hands and the ambassador asks the president: "Mr. President, I have a question about something I noticed here in the United States..."
Bush answers: "Just tell me, I will see what I can do for you."
The Saudi whispers: "My son has seen Startrek and he noticed, that there are black and white crew members, Asians and even Russians - but no Arabs. He's angry about that and doesn't understand, why there aren't any Arabs."
Bush laughs, leans over to the Ambassador and whispers back: "That's because it plays in the future!"

Oh well, as if we didn't know it was going to happen, the USA/UK
have gotten their way, for an unbiased on the spot account of things Dear Raed
Otherwise a rather morbid, but praiseworthy site Iraq Body Count
Pray to Godallahbuddah that it stays low. That said, every fatality is a tragedy.

Mmm, it's Star Spangled Ice Cream

Who would make a better president: Bush or a box of Tic-Tacs? An objective analysis.

Anti-France backlash grows ugly How mindless are these people?? Jesus, is that any way to treat people who come from countries whose leaders express different opinions to your leader??? Would that give me the right as a greek citizen to hit an englishman, just beacause our governments can't agree on the return of the Parthenon marbles?? Lighten up for Godssake... Smoke a joint... Have a german beer... or a glass of Bordeaux.

The Arrogant Empire A good line from it - "We have studied in the United States or worked there. We like and understand America. But we find it extremely irritating to be treated with utter contempt.”

Rebuke written on inspection notice
So folks the moral of the story is, if you are flying to the states soon, then don't bring any books,magazines,cds etc. of possible anti-american sentiment, otherwise you are likely to be talking to the nice lady in the lost and found office.

American Is Killed By Israeli Bulldozer
"We're dealing with a group of protesters acting very irresponsibly, putting everyone in danger -- the Palestinians, themselves and our forces." said Capt. Jacob Dallal, an Israeli military spokesman.

Since when is standing in front of a Bulldozer putting someone other than yourself in danger???

Wow, the American Government has REAL problems now: Feds consider adding another terror risk level How about gay Fuschia?

We Do Not Need the United Nations Now or in the Future!
"While I am not an advocate of this war, I always support the president of the United States when he makes a decision to go to war, no matter which president or what political party he belongs to.".

That's a great decision! To blindly support a man that was not even democratically elected, ex-alcoholic, certainly of only average if not under-average IQ...

Very imaginative...

My first LAN party on Saturday (purely for research purposes...), 8 hours of Counterstrike and I came out wanting to hug the world.
You are just too f**ked afterwards to feel like doing anything violent. I reckon that all these kids that run amok:
a) Have not got the playstation 2 for Christmas or
b) Were secretly playing Tetris - now that REALLY makes you violent.
