CNN/Reuters: News reports have filtered out early this morning that US forces have swooped on an Iraqi Primary School and detained 6th Grade teacher Mohammed Al-Hazar. Sources indicate that, when arrested, Al-Hazar was in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square and a calculator.
US President George W Bush argued that this was clear and overwhelming evidence that Iraq indeed possessed weapons of maths instruction...

Funny joke, Mike. Tell it to the Iraqi's being shot by Baath thugs or herded at gunpoint in front of Baath thugs to serve as machine gun shields. Or to the Iraqi thugs who stocked 3,000 anti-nerve gas ampules and poison gas protective suits in a Basra hospital.
I'm not laughing, though. Gator Bob Siegel EasyRacers Ti Rush "Mike O'Brien" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:95lga.224324$3D1.67071@sccrnsc01...

Funny you should mention this...
I was just now watching a story on Sky News. Royal Marines in the southern Iraqi city of Umm Qasr discovered a cache of 500 grenades, several RPG (rocket-propelled grenade) launchers, and Iraqi Army uniforms and helmets...
Hey Mike, your mom's dead! Oops, you don't think that's funny? Sorry. Did you hear the one about the Iraqi hospital that contained weapons, munitions, and 300 chemical weapons suits? It's a scream! Know what'd be funny, Mike? Instead of telling jokes ridiculing the President, why don't you join a peace protest, and lie down in front of traffic somewhere? Maybe someone will run you over. Now, that'd be funny...

You got all that from a joke? Lighten up. You know nothing of my beliefs--political or otherwise. BTW, my mother passed away last week and you are right--it wasn't funny.

I kid you not.
So a person can't have a play on words without you turning it into a political issue. There was nothing in what he said that was pro or anti war. I think you owe Mike an apology.

What innocent Palestinian would that be, and what occupied territory would that be, and what violation of what international law would that be? As for basic human decency, you wouldn't know what that was if it jumped up and bit you in the elbow. Why didn't you mention that idiot American girl who managed to get herself run over by the bulldozer while you were at it, or did that one slip by you? So you are anti-Israel and a Jew hater. So what else is new?

Apparently Mr. Dolan has no good arguments of his own, so he resorts to a personal attack.

It would be the territory occupied by Israel since 1973 in spite of repeated UN resolutions requesting that they withdraw. The words "standard" and "double" spring to mind, though not necessarily in that order. See also "Northern Cyprus, occupation of"

Good thing you obviously never had to deal with the typical humor in a military unit. Or at many funerals. Besides, its you that read it as ridiculing the president of the U.S. when most probably saw it as a play on words.
I liked it, but it wasn't up with super calloused fragile mystic with extra halitosis. With due apologies as I realize that made fun of Ghandi just before his death...
