Are the jihadi nutballs completely stupid?
Al-Jazeera television said Wednesday that kidnappers who have threatened to kill four Christian peace activists have extended the deadline for the U.S. and Britain to meet their demand to free all Iraqi prisoners.
I would pay good money to have the President announce that we will drop as many MOABs as we have to to kill the kidnappers and will kill as many of the enemy as we have to in order to avenge the deaths of the "peace activists." Indeed, we should put a reward on the heads of the kidnappers.
This should really have a two-fer effect: scare the terrorists and really annoy the "peace activists" that we would kill to avenge their deaths at the hands of their buddies.
And then we have Saddam and his Baathist minions, on trial for slaughtering hundreds of thousands, torturing and abusing hundreds of thousands, and oppressing and terrorizing millions:
One of Saddam's seven co-defendants lashed out at conditions of his own detention, saying guards offered only "the worst brands" of cigarettes.
I'm no hotshot attorney like Ramsey Clark, but isn't complaining about your brand of cigarettes as a crime a little short-sighted when you are on trial for mass murder and torture on a scale not seen since Stalin's Russia? Just who do they think will feel sorry for them? I mean, it's not like they are complaining that Shias are stubbing out the worst brands of cigarettes on their skin about twenty times an hour.
I'd really pay good money to skip ahead to the shooting part.
And finally, our Pillsbury Nuke Boy, Kim Jong-Il's nutty North Korean regime is in the news. It seems the South Koreans are upset our ambassador called the North a "criminal regime."
"It's up to North Korea to end the behavior that led to those sanctions," U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Alexander Vershbow told the National Press Club in Seoul. "This is a criminal regime and we can't somehow remove our sanctions as a political gesture."
His description of the North provoked strong criticism from a top South Korean official.
"It's not desirable to publicly characterize the other side," Son Min-soon, South Korea's chief negotiator at six-party talks over the North's nuclear ambitions, told The Associated Press in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. "If North Korea makes a similar characterization, would that be good?"
Must ... restrain ... fist ... of ... death.
If North Korea's victory wouldn't cause us so many problems, it might be worth it to just let those idiots in South Korea who think crazy old Uncle Kim is really harmless get a good reality lesson by experiencing the tender mercies of a Nuke Boy invasion.
Is there not one corner of the world where actual friggin' logic and reason hold sway?
Has the world gone completely mad? Or is it really just me?
