I don’t think I could say it any better than Lex:

1) Rot in hell, motherfucker. Too many people here and and in other places have suffered and died for your toxic vision. Three thousand New Yorkers and God knows how many Arabs and Afghans.

2) Max props to those patriots who signed on, fought, died or came back wounded because of 1). Heroes forever.

3) Pakistan: Thanks for nothing.

The Nickname is Warthog!

A man whom the U.S. described as a key figure in Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula accidentally blew himself up, U.S. military officials told Fox News.

The officials say Nayif Al-Qahtani was “messing with a bomb” when it went off. U.S. officials had been watching him, but Fox News’ sources insist the U.S. had nothing to do with his death.

The money quote is the part about “messing with a bomb”

Yeah, I’ll have a better weekend now

MULLAH OMAR CAPTURED!!!

FROM BIG HOLLYWOOD:

Through key intelligence sources in Afghanistan and Pakistan, I have just learned that reclusive Taliban leader and top Osama bin Laden ally, Mullah Omar has been taken into custody.

According to the State Department’s Rewards for Justice Program there is a bounty of up to $10 million on Omar for sheltering Osama bin-Laden and his al-Qaeda network in the years prior to the September 11 attacks as well as the period during and immediately thereafter.

SIERRA HOTEL !!!

Think again.

From the Army Times:

Note said Hood-style shooting could happen

A box of hollow-point bullets and an anonymous note threatening an incident like the one at Fort Hood, Texas, were discovered Thursday at Fort Benning, Ga., sparking a criminal investigation and greater police presence, a witness told Army Times.

According to a witness at the scene, a box of 20 hollow-point shells and a handwritten note were found in the motor pool area between 1st Battalion and 2nd Battalion, 29th Infantry, under the 197th Infantry Training Brigade.

“The note said ‘tell the commanding general to call off all charges or there will be a re-enactment of Fort Hood,’ ” the witness told Army Times. He spoke on condition he wouldn’t be identified.

Of course they’re investigating who had a nearly unbelievable dip in their I.Q. that would allow themselves to do something this monstrously, immensely, galactically,  and universally stupid move.  They’re looking for fingerprints and talking to people who’re in trouble in the military.

I just hope they’re beefing up the guard force and the guys and gals on base are wearing their soft body armor.  Don’t forget that for some reason the same military that trusts these guys with tanks, intercontinental ballistic missiles, and fighter jets with machineguns and thermonuclear warheads doesn’t think they can be trusted with a handgun when they’re off duty.  I guess somehow they think they change when the come off the flightline, out of the tank turrets, and up from the missile launch capsules.

Here’s hoping this is just a sick prank.
