In Tikrit, at Tikrit University weapons inspectors were strictly supervised by Iraqi security.

into an Iraqi
military base in the desert of the Kut province ~110 miles south of Baghdad.
In Baghdad, Iraq, newly painted statues of a demented terrorist on the
payroll of,
and supported by, Kofi Annan and his protectorate of slavers,
terrorists,
and German, Russian, and French WMD-industries..

BREAKING: SMOKING GUN:
In the desert near Youssifiya, south of Baghdad, Iraqis bury useless older

BREAKING: SMOKING GUN:
In Aziziyah, 90 km south of Baghdad, missile heads with proven WMD from

Shhh! You're going to give away the secret of the 'mini-predator'.
It's loaded with C-4 and they will fly it by remote control right through the vent ducts in Saddam's bunker and right up his (CENSORED)!

BTW, great thread as always.

Hi Victoria. I've been very busy. Not much time to FReep, although I'm trying to catch up.
Are you going to any of the support the troops rallies? The First lady and I are going to one in Sarasota weekend after this. Will be good to get together with the FLA FReepers again.
How you been?

No way will our president allow those Kurdish murder scenes be repeated in
America, Diogenesis.
The Democrats are too power-grabbing to pay
attention to the dangers, but our president, our military knows, and will do
what is necessary.
Thanks for the photos.
I do love those sexy

I love this thread, and I love the pictures you "harvest" for us.
I
did a little HTML editing on what you sent out to see how I could be suggest a
solution to a small issue with jpgs.
If you limit the pixels (width and
height) prior to posting images, then you can control their appearance a bit
better, and the pictures will not throw the "Mt Comments" section off center.
I try to limit my total width in pixels (all images lined up side by
side) to about 600, and I center them.

Glad to have you back, Dio - you were missed!
These postings had
become the first thing I looked for after logging on to FR, and a whole lot of
us (obviously) are delighted to see them - and you - back!
You know,
I've found that it's not all that difficult to tell one of Soddamn's "Doubles"
from the real beast; they are not nearly as FAT! Have you seen the GUT on that
reptile lately?
I rather doubt that he would have let a "double" do the
interview with Dan Rather recently - have you noticed how most clips of him have
him sitting at a table or desk... in order to hide that bulbous, gluttonous
paunch?!
Re. the Iraqi "Drone"; gee; the fuselage only LOOKS like a
container for some sort of liquid, and we don't see any openings for camera
lenses etc... but it's only going to carry a video-camera?? RIIIiight!
}B^{/~ ...
Can't these geniuses even come up with a decent
ram-jet engine or craft a workable V-1(?) "Buzz-Bomb" like the Nazis did in
what... 1943? Oh; that's right; they probably bought it from France.
Don't the Germans have any surplus ones left to sell them... Oh; wait!;
AMERICAN GI's busted them all up, along with the factory that made them, in
1945, didn't they?
Darned good thing, don't we suppose?
I wonder who
the poor sap is that has to turn the prop of that Iraqi buzz-bomber clockwise
3,682 times in order to wind up the big rubber band inside?
One slip and
"bye-bye" finger!
I would think that we could hear this thing coming
(assuming that it does get off the ground) a good 10 Klicks away. A good Commo
Tech could probably scan out the frequency the Saddamites use to control this
rig and have a lot of fun with it, don't you suppose?

Re the "Drone"; It looks to me like they scrounged that engine off of a very
old French Mo-Ped somewhere... I think they may have gotten the idea from a
re-run of The Discovery Channel's "Junk-Yard Wars" series. Don't they have any
decent lawn-mowers over there?
Check out the very home-made looking
shaft-mounted rotor and coresponding stator with it's meticulously (not)
hand-wound copper wire coil! Are they trying to win a High-School Science Fair
prize with this thing or what?!
Wouldn't it be nice if the "Inspectors"
could just confiscate any such "unauthorized" system on the spot, as an
alternative to destroying (or ignoring) it? Our guys over in Kuwait could have a
lot of fun with this thing until it crashed and burned, as I have little doubt
that it will - one way or another - before too long.
How about a
"Dogfight" between this relic and a "Predator" just for sport, eh? Which one
would your money be on?
Gee; that's a tough one, ain't it?
