Also says weapons may can contain chemical elements.

That Saddam sure is a military genius. <|:/~

[Wright is right!]

Sounds as if THE business to be in after the war will be SCRAP METAL.

Another unexpected discovery yesterday was the presence of a blond, blue-eyed soldier among the Iraqi troops, Bailes said. The operations officer speculated that the soldier is Chechen, although his nationality had not yet been confirmed

Interesting discovery.

Destroyed like predicted by many in yesterdays thread =)

Lt. Christopher Pike, eh? His Daddy musta been a Trek fan!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Is this confirmation of the CBN report or is this another story?

Unknown. I am keeping my eyes peeled and my ears open.

I went to college in NYC with a couple of Syrian Arabs, Maronite Catholics. Sons of VIPs in the Brooklyn Arab community. Both of them could have passed the appearance requirements for the SS.

No, yesterdays report from CBN was about artillery shells.

Right up there with Hitler, I would say.

I also noticed that one. Could be that the parents were oblivious of Trek, but you never know. I wonder how many James Tiberius Kirks there are today?

We know there's at least one Optimus Prime. <|:)~

"I wonder how many James Tiberius Kirks there are today?"

Up until 2 weeks prior to my wife's delivery we had decided to name our child (If it was a boy) James Tiberius -------.
My wife fought me tooth and nail. She didn't want an "Awful" Middle name like Tiberius.

The she tells me two weeks prior to delivery she has changed her mind and want's his fist name to be Tiberius.
(Talk about screwing up my plan.)

She picked out the name James and didn't know Capt Kirks middle middle name.

I've known a number of Lebanese and Syrian Christians like this, as well as dirty blondish and/or blue eyed people from Afghanistan and northern Pakistan.

Well, there's no accounting for good taste. I wonder what his folks think - I know that I'd be pissed.

I would hate to imagine what he'd go through if he was ever captured by the enemy (hopefully never, of course).

I also wonder what would happen if he changed it to "President Bush?" I suppose that it is legal, but it is fun to consider how a DI would react.
