everything that happened before the iraq war, is happening now

History repeats itself...

Sorry, but the Bulgarian airforce wont participate: the pilot is pregnant.

i heard the mule calvary is in tip top shape though!

and the rowing team has already left port!

Few in number...but their heart's in the right place and they have balls.

Gotta' count for something!

hey daj

not trying to take anything away from them,, but i have to wonder what arm twisting and or economic sanctions were levied against them

and the people negotiating won't be going

they really have enough of their own problems to be getting involved in this,,, just like my country,, the usa
