I’m gonna get flamed for this, but doesn’t anyone think it’s a pity he didn’t have a couple of 5.56 rounds going through his mind at the time? (FTR - I don’t. But I do enjoy Black Humor) ---

These aren’t the droids you’re looking for… I knew just a beard wasn’t enough to disguise me. I shoulda bought the whole Santa suit when I had the chance. Minister of (Dis)Information: “Captured? Pah! They LIE. WE have captured the evil American infidel president. Our great leader Saddam is enjoying his usual blueberry pancake breakfast at this very moment, unconcerned about the laughable threat from the stupid Americans. He is not in hiding. THEY are the ones hiding. That person they show that they have captured is not Saddam, it is Bush dressed up in a monkey suit. They are trying to TRICK us. We have them surrounded!” ---

I’m glad I could help with Bush’s re-election. It’s funny how they’ve known where my hole was for the last month or so, and they caught me on a slow news day in the holiday season as the democratic nominees are busy squabbling and infighting. Hey, tell Rummy and Rove I’ll see them again in DC. \ 😃 ---
