====== THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY ===========


====== THE GOOD ===========

========= Kuwait City =========

In Kuwait City, heroes prepare, some with Keichu Du.


========= Kuwait =========

In Kuwait, Marine heroes attend their RC airplane.


====== THE BAD ===========

========= Iraq "Inspections" are Controlled by: Iraq =========

========= Tikrit =========

In Tikrit, at Tikrit University weapons inspectors were strictly supervised by Iraqi security.


In Baghdad, Iraq, U.N. weapons inspectors taken by truck
into an Iraqi military base in the desert of the Kut province ~110 miles south of Baghdad.


In Baghdad, Iraq, newly painted statues of a demented terrorist on the payroll of,
and supported by, Kofi Annan and his protectorate of slavers, terrorists,
and German, Russian, and French WMD-industries..


In Baghdad, Saddam's double is rolled out and ignored
by officers. He matches the recently hung pictures of the double.


BREAKING: ========= Iraqi Rockets =========

========= al-Qaqa missiles site =========

At the al-Qaqa missiles site, 60kms south of Baghdad.



At the Rafah military facility, 90 km west of Baghdad, static test of an al-Samoud missile.

An Iraqi Ababil-100 missile, truck-borne surface-to-surface missile system
with launcher, radar and support vehicle.

BREAKING: SMOKING GUN

BREAKING: SMOKING GUN:

has for decades?

========= Youssifiya =========

BREAKING: SMOKING GUN:

In the desert near Youssifiya, south of Baghdad, Iraqis bury useless older missiles
after they are retrofitted with older single stage, some Russian, engines.
Iraq keeps the best missiles and the two stage engines
for Iraqi nefarious use. They know we know.
We know they know we know they know we know.


========= Aziziyah =========

BREAKING: SMOKING GUN:

In Aziziyah, 90 km south of Baghdad, missile heads with proven WMD from
1991 which the Iraqis say they don't have.

PRAYER IS POWERFUL. PLEASE PRAY NOW! Amen. Today's Bible Message:
"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may devour." -from THE BIBLE: I Peter 5:6-8

This is a photo-shopped picture of some Bristish Muslims.

The sign originally read: "Islam will dominate the world" or some such slogan.

I WISH it was as is depicted, but NOT.

So, have any news outlets offered you a job yet? If they cared about this nation, they would.

I love this thread, and I love the pictures you "harvest" for us.

I did a little HTML editing on what you sent out to see how I could be suggest a solution to a small issue with jpgs.

If you limit the pixels (width and height) prior to posting images, then you can control their appearance a bit better, and the pictures will not throw the "Mt Comments" section off center.

I try to limit my total width in pixels (all images lined up side by side) to about 600, and I center them.

Glad to have you back, Dio - you were missed!

These postings had become the first thing I looked for after logging on to FR, and a whole lot of us (obviously) are delighted to see them - and you - back!

You know, I've found that it's not all that difficult to tell one of Soddamn's "Doubles" from the real beast; they are not nearly as FAT! Have you seen the GUT on that reptile lately?
I rather doubt that he would have let a "double" do the interview with Dan Rather recently - have you noticed how most clips of him have him sitting at a table or desk... in order to hide that bulbous, gluttonous paunch?!

Re. the Iraqi "Drone"; gee; the fuselage only LOOKS like a container for some sort of liquid, and we don't see any openings for camera lenses etc... but it's only going to carry a video-camera?? RIIIiight!

}B^{/~ ...

Can't these geniuses even come up with a decent ram-jet engine or craft a workable V-1(?) "Buzz-Bomb" like the Nazis did in what... 1943? Oh; that's right; they probably bought it from France.

Don't the Germans have any surplus ones left to sell them... Oh; wait!; AMERICAN GI's busted them all up, along with the factory that made them, in 1945, didn't they?
Darned good thing, don't we suppose?

I wonder who the poor sap is that has to turn the prop of that Iraqi buzz-bomber clockwise 3,682 times in order to wind up the big rubber band inside?
One slip and "bye-bye" finger!

I would think that we could hear this thing coming (assuming that it does get off the ground) a good 10 Klicks away. A good Commo Tech could probably scan out the frequency the Saddamites use to control this rig and have a lot of fun with it, don't you suppose?

};^{)~

"RUN AWAaaaaay, Muchmied!!! It's coming BAAAAAaaaaaack!!!"

{8^}D~

Re the "Drone"; It looks to me like they scrounged that engine off of a very old French Mo-Ped somewhere... I think they may have gotten the idea from a re-run of The Discovery Channel's "Junk-Yard Wars" series. Don't they have any decent lawn-mowers over there?

Check out the very home-made looking shaft-mounted rotor and coresponding stator with it's meticulously (not) hand-wound copper wire coil! Are they trying to win a High-School Science Fair prize with this thing or what?!

Wouldn't it be nice if the "Inspectors" could just confiscate any such "unauthorized" system on the spot, as an alternative to destroying (or ignoring) it? Our guys over in Kuwait could have a lot of fun with this thing until it crashed and burned, as I have little doubt that it will - one way or another - before too long.

How about a "Dogfight" between this relic and a "Predator" just for sport, eh? Which one would your money be on?

Gee; that's a tough one, ain't it?
