booby traps in the form of pens and pencils

I've encountered some of those boob-trap pens before. You put it in your pocket, the next thing you've got a nasty stain on your shirt. This is truly evil...

The #2's with the bonded leads are the worst...

They are one-shots only. The semiauto Sanford PhD 0.5mm with large-capacity magazine and heavy eraser is vicious...

Word is that #2-H will pierce 1/2" armor. #1 is more appropriate for anti-personnel use.

That Minister of MIS-information is looking at an Emmy if he keeps giving such virtuoso performances! I hope we award it posthumously

In Afghanistan the Russian used to drop dolls, toys, and yes pens that would explode when picked up. These were carefully designed not to kill but to just remove a limb or an eye.

Veeery Interesting!

This is representative of CNN's war coverage.

Biased

Anti-American

Bad information

Quotes from incredibly stupid people designed for other incredibly stupid people

Attempts to hurt morale in the home front

Gives aid and comfort to the enemy

I call it sedition and treason.

I was watching the info minister, they have no shame.
The coalition has just found a make shift morgue, appr 200 cardboard coffins, all with bodies having been killed before the war, I sure hope that will shut some of the anti's up for good.

I guess this is the launch of the 'No Iraqi can use a writing instrument' campaign.

Just wait until the Iraqi's start using their Lepage glue guns; they are purported to be able to glue whole aircraft formations in the air. The disinfo minister ought to try selling some of that stuff he's smoking; he'd make a bundle.

Seriously, what is with the pens. Every lie has a grain of truth to it. Did Iraq do something they are going to blame on us ?

Nah...And these are our top secret weapon, but if you can keep a secret, I'll tell you...

IMO, the 'exploding-ink-all-over-your-shirt' INKPEN bombs you'll be seeing soon are so much worse...
