Good research ptttt.
Chowan appears to have been a two year college
in 1983 and it currently has no engineering department.

Also, their football team was 0 for 10 in 2002.
All in all, times have been better for Chowan. http://www.chowan.edu/athlet/football/2002games/schedule.htm

They called him, "The Brain"

"Pinky, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"I think so, Brain, but where are we going to get a duck and a hose that THIS hour?"

Oops - I meant to type: "Where are we going to get a duck and a hose at THIS hour?"

There. That's better.

More info for you:
He went to Chowan College in Murfreesboro, NC, first. Then he transferred to NC A&T in Greensboro, NC, where they do have engineering, I believe. This should clear up the confusion.

My further (politically incorrect) thought is how many ruthless enemies have been hiding in plain sight, right here in rural NC/SC/FL/NY/TX/CA,etc.....

The disinformation in this 'war on terror' has been masterful

I really enjoy the weekly battle plans exclusively gotten by the NY Times (...armies will advance in a one-two punch sweeping out of Turkey!...), the Independent (an unprecedented air campaign with small-squad cleanup ), the Washington Post (... troops massed on the Saudi and Kuwait borders will sweep across the desert in a one-two punch behind an unprecendented air-war) and news of disagreements among the 'allies', etc, etc etc

I almost wish the stakes weren't so high so I could enjoy it even more!

We can do what ever we want when we want to do it; the key is do we let them carry on with their nefarious activities so we can follow them deep into their organizations and can we use these "useful idiots" to leverage against weak nations like france, Germany, and liberal kind??? We pull out our king of diamonds, with four aces up our sleeve. Do you really believe for one second that Bush doesn't have several aces in the hole??

Nice? Nah....strategy.

And I don't know about that sign-up thing, either. I'm on the same time zone as FR, so I just flat out don't know. It IS funny when they sign up tomorrow and get kicked off the site before then.

Twilight Zone....

I think he was trying to say that the earlier story was obviously true (after all, it was printed in the Asia Times) and these latest stories are false.

The Asia Times story's author was Syed Saleem Shahzad. I don't imagine he has a biased point of view. /sarcasm

The United States badly needed a big victory in its war on al-Qa'ida to counter those critics who said that the violent and fanatically anti-Western network represents a far greater and more immediate threat to Americans than Iraq. And now, just as its generals and Pentagon strategists apply the finishing touches to their plans to invade Baghdad and topple Saddam Hussein, America says this is precisely what it has secured.

So what Phil Reeves of The Independent is trying to say is that this is all one big lie on the part of the Bush administration and the CIA to manipulate the world into thinking the US is having any successes in the war on terrorism, and to further manipulate the world into believing that the war against Iraq is somehow justified.

Pretty crafty for a dumb cowboy from Texas, huh? But Phil and his leftist brain trust aren't falling for it.

These smarmy, self-righteous, left-wing papers in the UK really piss me off with their elitist, know-it-all, cynicism.

The liberals say the war on terrorism is going badly because we haven't arrested any big fish. Then when we do arrest a big fish, we did it improperly, or some such BS. What's really killing these a$$holes is that W is doing what's right and ignoring all of them. After eight years of Clinton, it must be hard being irrelevant.
