Just
thought it might be about time for a cartoon of "W" with his pants on
fire... Thanks R. bin Laden--bin Forgotten? Apparently so. The Taliban is rearing it's ugly head again. Are there too many irons in the fire? QUESTION: If Bush was a POW-- would he still have that cocky walk?

Commentary from former Arizona talk radio host Bob Witkowski |
WE'RE NUMBER ONE! Okay. We won The War. Good for US. Woweee Zoweee. Can somebody tell me exactly what it is We Just Won? I mean, I don't want to be a spoilsport, but just what the heck did we win? I'm not even sure why we went to war in the first place. I know there's a multiple choice of reasons that were molded each week to justify this invasion as soon as one reasons was debunked.

ARMY EXCHANGES GREEN BERETS
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld
models the new “Green
Sombrero”,
which is now being worn by army commandos
in lieu of unpatriotic
French-style berets.
“It is now official United
States Army policy to detest everything that is from France,” said General
Marcel de Gaulle, commander of U.S. Forces stationed at New Orleans. “For
example, during target practice, the troops now lob grenades at an effigy of
Mister French from Family Affair.”
According to anonymous
sources at the Pentagon, the Green Sombrero was ultimately chosen over a number
of other possibilities, including the Green Beefeater, the Green Fez, and the
Green Yarmulke.
“It is a little more
cumbersome than the beret,” acknowledged Colonel Pepe Le Beau, a tactical
munitions specialist from Sault Ste. Marie. “And the damn thing makes it much
easier for enemy snipers to locate and kill you. But that is a small price to
pay for repudiating France. In this man’s army, we prize patriotism above
everything – well, patriotism and liberty. And equality. And, of course,
fraternity.”
“I love the new Green
Sombreros,” exclaimed Undersecretary of the Army Michelle Bardot. “They are so
dashing, so elegant, so…Je ne sais qua!”
