Hang on, I'll get my shoes on and go with you.

“Hang on, I’ll get my shoes on and go with you. “

Ma, hold on a sec. I’ll have Tan make up some Tungsten carbide tips for those heels.

OK. While I'm waiting, I'll just grab my lipstick.

Moi?

;)

LOL. Got a funny story about MOI?

During and after boot camp, all these ancronyms were being tossed left and right, right? SOI, MCT, MCB, when one day, some one “emailed” MOI?

I get a private email from a family member asking, “What’s MOI?”

I can see it all now. Brochures showing the joy in visiting Sadr City. Taking bus tours to see where Saddam's statue was ripped down and the local's beat his face with their shoes.
Special side tours to the military bunkers where VX nerve gas cannisters where stocked along side French manufactured 155 artillery shells.
For an extra charge. Visit a prison to see where Saddam's sadist threw people into shredders.
Of course side tours to visit the killing fields where the Iraqi gassed thousands of Kurds at a time.
For those with a lot extra bucks. Side tours to a rebuild bomb factory in the triangle of death area, say main street off the chicken factory in al Mahmudiya.
But what the heck. Iraq is on the mend.

well how then does Obama compare to Saddam, realistically? Can you admitt that that was a stupid statement?

[freema]

Actually, not a bad idea! I’d say it might be awhile yet, and they’ll probably need to get a sworn statement from Aman?gee!a-hadji that this all actually happened, but here’s a blueprint for them:

I see what you are getting at. Let the world see first hand as how brutal Saddam’s regime really was. My list was intended as sarcasm but I see the merit of what you suggest.
