Interestingly, given the present state of Iraq & Afghanistan, I'm starting to see Iran as the "Schwerpunkt" of the region. Invading Iran on 2 fronts (3 if you count the "Plucky Kurdish Freedom-Fighters" as a better ally than Turkey) could very well secure stability for the region. UNFORTUNATELY... it's the same sort of stability that Eastern Europe enjoyed under Stalinism!... Or the stability enjoyed by Iran under The Shah!!! ONLY!... Don't use the "Nuclear WMD" Argument as an excuse; Historically, EVERY leader of a country which has thus far acquired Nuclear Weapons has instantly come to agree 100% with Clauswitz's theories & conditions for war - even if they've never even heard of Clauswitz, let alone read him!

Amen. This ISN'T a Race problem. This is a group of youths who form a gang and behave like animals. A decade ago they were "Football-Casuals", before that they were "Rockers", Teddy-Boys".... "Race" is just the latest handy excuse for forming a mob and submerging their individuality to the lowest common "Mob-Culture" behaviour. Or... In Non-Sociospeak: Adolescents ENJOY forming mobs; Gobbing off; Acting like pricks; and then impressing their mates and (in theory) GIRLS, wiff their tales of Derrin'-Do when it's finished. Mike.

Now don't you worry about that..... Even as we speak, the local thought police are fuelling their pink, fluffy, Indian-manufactured Jeeps wiff Bio-Fuel, and whittling baseball bats from sustainable trees. Once they've crewed their vehicles with a complete representation of minorities & printed a suitable "T"-Shirt they'll go and get a hold of this particular chauvinist and Intervention him to within an inch of his Therapy! Mike. PS: I bet he's one of those people who smoke in pubs anyway! Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Of course. Every military in the world has a (small) department dedicated to planning all sorts of insanities! a bare bones of objectives & logistics that's updated every so often based on the correlation of available forces and ready to be dusted off "Just In Case!" For example, there is definitely a British Plan to invade France (no surprise there, it's basically the same one we've used since 1314 & it still worked fine when Britain last invaded France in 1944). I'm sure that there's a similar French plan to invade Britain ( - always assuming that they've come up with something that might work for once)! There's only 2 problems with these Planning Cells: 1. (small problem): The public gets to hear about a plan - in which case it becomes an slight embarrassment which is understood by the professional governments of both sides. 2. (MAJOR BIG FECK OFF PROBLEM WIFF MASSIVE BRASS KNOBS): Some politician gets to see one of the plans and decides; "Ooh!... That's Shiny!

If you're gonna stir up some controversy... Post about how these same-sex adoptive couples also KISS each other AND the adopted child!!!!!!!! Mike.

An easy mistake. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

Hillary could yet be on her way! Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

No. He's OK now. He's finally learning that "Baaa..." means NO. (sometimes... Sometimes she's a' jus' teasin'!) Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

No. I'm ashamed to say that the sick fat f'ck happens to be English. I'm also seriously pi$$ed-off that he's slid out of a kiddie rape prosecution by waving a few $$ at the families. But what REALLY BOILS MY BLOOD is that it seems the Vietnamese "Criminal Justice" (sic) System allows this!!! Is that REALLY what Ho-Chi Minh and his followers dedicated their lives for: "A united country whose people are free from foreign colonial oppression (kiddie-banging @ $2K/child)." Still. If that's the way it works, then that's the way it works. I just thought that it'd make excellent financial & diplomatic sense for The US forces to move back into Vietnam. Suppose a couple of your Marines do decide to indulge in a little rape. No court case. No protests or riots outside the embassy. I'm guessing that the going rate for raping a 22 year-old is rather less than raping a 12 year-old. So, just bung the victim $1,000 or so and case closed. You could even stop the money out of your perpetrator's wages! If I remember correctly there is an excellent (if slightly vintage) suitable military infrastructure & bases there already. Therefore, I humbly suggest that the US DoD might want to move back in quick... Before the prices go up. Oh... And if the US Marines DO go there... Can we issue them with decks of cards bearing photos of Paul Gadd - along with a lecture on exactly WHAT he is - please? Mike.

In the wake of This News Story in conjunction with This News Story, Is it time for The US to leave Subic Bay and move back West 500 or so miles to HERE!!!? it makes excellent fiscal & diplomatic sense. None of this "Arrest the Marines" cr@p - just give the victim's family a quick bung (in US$ even for convenience) & problem solved! Mike.

Call that a Thread-Hijack!!? THIS is a Thread-Hijack. Now.... Fill this thread wiff guns, machetes and medieval instruments of torture & take it to VIETNAM!!!

Yeah... Only I guess that a lot of folk would take exception to the "Travel SOVIET-STYLE" comment. The trains in Russia (at least in "soft" class) aren't that bad - and The Russians have a more "fun" way of dealing with loss of schedule. Mike.

Yeah... But the Harrier offers 4 Warm-Air-Outlets for Hairdrying & Styling... Which is more ion keeping with this vessel's whole ethos. Mike.

She is tall, slim & striking (exotic?) Unfortunately, knowing whose niece she is, you do tend to see the family resemblance coming through... The more I see her pics, the more it's actually Osama's face looking back at me (!) and the less I'm looking at her as a whole. I suppose the most important question is whether she's compatible with my new Perfect-World(tm) Remote Control? Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Hmmm... I'd heard a rumour that it was The Disney Corporation! AS that incisive political commentator Robin Williams once said: Reagan was disney's dying wish: "MAKE A PRESIDENT!" Now, Reagan was programmed with "Presimatronic Speech"(tm) Version 1.1. This was quite slow, causing a lot of silences & staring vacantly into space while the next soundfile was being built. Despite attempts to speed the program up, this proved impossible. Therefore, a "Random-homily-sub-routine" was introduced in V 1.4. This allowed any silence beyond a preset length to be filled with pre-programmed soundfiles such as "Bomb The Russkies." "AIDS Sufferers deserve to Die." and similar. Now. Despite these particular sound files being intended only as humourous tests of the program, it was soon found that these sound files were the American People's favourites! By Clinton, we had "Presimatronic Speech"(tm) V 2.0. This version cured that delay problem, but there were REAL difficulties with the positive/negative interface. Thus, we had soundfiles like: "We did NOT buy land illegally!" "I did NOT have sex with That Woman!" Despite Disney's best efforts there was no cure for this programming flaw. Because of this, Dubya has been fitted with "Presimatronic Speech XP"(tm) which is basically Reagan's Version 1.4 with the Random-Homily-sub-routine expanded to fill the entire program. OK, this version's speech soundfiles frequently don't make sense, but that doesn't matter since it turns out that over 50% of American Voters don't notice!

OK. Done divisive. Now we can move on to the other part of the post - Lookee at the new remote control Santa left for me!

! As if I'd lie to you! I promised you a Lamboghini and I DEFINITELY gave a LAMBOGHINI There's even a cute little single-seat open topped red one for the summer! If you REALLY want a Porsche... HERE! You can tell it's a porsche from the rear wing. In fact, I'm so angry I feel like saying Tscheuss (!!!) Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Ich. Dieses European. Referring to myself in the third person.

Err... WHY would you need a piece of Kentucky with you in the Bonkfire? Mike. Edited to add: Oh! I get it! Boy on Boy lubricant. One more question... Why do they call it KY Jelly? Do they actually make it in Kentucky? No. That leaves the fact that Kentucky men just happen to use a lot of it. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

You'll join me? Two fingers of fine Kentucky Bourbon topped off with clear Lemonade.

Never mind "Intelligent Design". Let's talk: "INTELLIGENT DEFENCE SPENDING"! Finally, a US Military program which shows real benefits for humanity. Especially tha tsegment of humanity with hyper or cynical kids.

An Englishman, an American & a German (who can now forget her effin' Plasma TV) were discussing English... "It's when? Peace on Earth and what?... Billvon's gonna what? Oh! I see." Both versions are fine. Mine's better 'cos it splits the vowel sounds at the end of "grammar" and the beginning of "also" Either one is acceptable and I owe John an apology.

"I just want to be accepted..." Yep.... VERY ACCEPTABLE! Now... If she could just move that "veil" she's holding up to arms length over her head for the next set of pics please?
