Just wacky, I tell ya.

Just wacky, I tell ya.

Last month, an attack on contractors at the Saudi oil
facility in Yanbu killed six Westerners, two of them Americans. Senior
Saudi officials told the world al-Qaida terrorists were to blame and
al-Qaida claimed responsibility.
But tape obtained by NBC News reveals that, inside Saudi Arabia, on
Saudi television, Crown Prince Abdullah told a strikingly different
story about who was to blame. NBC News translated Abdullah's remarks
from Arabic: “Zionism is behind it. It has become clear now. It has
become clear to us. I don̢۪t say, I mean... It is not 100 percent, but
95 percent that the Zionist hands are behind what happened.”
{...}Prince Nayef, the Saudi Interior Minister said, “Al-Qaida is
backed by Israel and Zionism.”

Desperation. Reeking.

To say that Zionists,
you know, those crazy Jews who think they're entitled to Israel, are
behind the murder of westerners is a bit beyond the pale. I've said
before the Saudi TV is the biggest propaganda machine since Goebbels
did his thing for Hitler, but damn. This shoots even beyond that.
Does the House of Saud actually think it's citzenry is going to buy
that? Everyone knows it's Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda even claimed
responsibility for it. But no, it's the Grand Cabal bullshit all over
again. Rather than rein in the Islamic fundies, they're claiming it was
the Jews. I think not.
El House of Saud had better get control of this situation and soon. And
a part of that is looking honestly at the problem and creating
solutions based in reality, rather than la-la-land. They're hiding
under their dishdashas. A few more attacks like this, and the western
companies will pull their employees entirely. All of them. Then there
will be nobody to run the Kingdom, because we all know how postively
worker-bee-ish rich Saudis are. Then there's really going to be a problem.

Well, not really. Robert fired

Well, not really. Robert fired his first salvo on Friday, but what with the instalanche and me feeling incredibly lazy this weekend I hadn't gotten around to replying.

Then I saw this.Robert's not feeling well.
He went and did manly things yesterday and wound up with a case of
heatstroke. Poor guy. So, I will hold off on talking trash to get a
rise out of an ill man. Methinks that's just not fair. It sounds like
something Lady Catherine DeBurgh would do and I just can't get behind
that sort of malevolence. (You know, because I don't think Steve's
going to assume the persona of Mr. Collins and boost his ego, either.)
But anyway...striking a man when he's down...well, that's just not
right. It's not sporting. So, the trash talk will ensue when Robert's
rehydrated.

So, here's a question for

So, here's a question for all you moonbats. What's so hard to understand about this?

Al Qaeda justified kidnapping Johnson, saying "the gunfire
of Apache helicopters was killing Muslims in Afghanistan and
Palestine." "The blood of Muslims is being spilled all over the globe
and by the will of God, the blood of this parasite will flow in the
rivers of blood of Crusaders that will run this blessed year," the
statement said. "Muslims in the East and the West, we took a vow upon
our selves to make you victorious and we will not fail. God has unleashed the mujahideen upon the Crusaders, and they love death as much as you (Westerners) love life," it added.

Straight from the horse's mouth. Not Bush's. Not Blair's. Al-Qaeda's.

Learn who your enemy is. It's not George W. Bush. It's not Tony Blair. It's the guys who would use the word sacrifice
to describe your murder to the world press. You're just a sheep to
them. A sheep worth slaughtering. No amount of moral equivocation will
get you around the fact that they want to kill you and understanding them isn't going to keep them from beheading you with a rusty knife.

Jesus. Are you really so stupid?

ARRRRRRGH!

Yes, yes. I know. I shouldn't even bother trying. They just won't see it. I had to try.

Shudder.

Am I the only one who would like Mark Burnett to be set aflame via one of those stupid Survivor torches?

I didn't think so.

Though, I do think I'm probably the only one who'd dump a can of gasoline on him first.

No, really. I'm serious. UNSCAM

No, really. I'm serious. UNSCAM made the Newshour with Jim Lehrer tonight.

Kofi Annan:

We had no mandate to stop oil smuggling. There was a
maritime task force that was supposed to do that. They were driving the
trucks through northern Iraq to Turkey. The U.S. and the British had
planes in the air. We were not there. Why is all this being dumped on
the U.N.?

Gee, Kofi, I don't know. Maybe because the Oil For Food Program was
your bright idea in the first place? Hmmmm. Could that have something
to do with it? I wonder...
Go read the whole thing.

Most definitely deserves another. And

Most definitely deserves another.
And as an added bonus, I shall do my best impersonation of my mother
and whip out the Catholic Guilt Trip and start swinging:
{Ahem}
Bloggers you should really give seldom sober a bed to sleep on. I mean,
honestly, how could you not do this? Have you no compassion? All he's
asking for is a bed between Detroit and New York. Even a sofa or an air
mattress will do. He's not asking for a night at the Ritz-Carlton.
Simple shelter will do and you'll even get a t-shirt out of the deal.
{insert windy sigh of disappointment here} Honestly, you should try
harder. I know you have plenty on your plates right now, but I'm not
coming to visit, Rich
is coming to visit. You'll actually have fun. One night isn't that much
to ask for, is it? I really don't think it is. And you should be
ashamed of yourself for not offering sooner. Somebody give the poor boy a bed to sleep on between Detroit and NYC.

UPDATE: 06/01/2004 Rich would also like a bed somewhere in between the vast
wasteland of Tucson and Colorado Springs. Oops. My bad for leaving that
one out. /guilt trip.
