#6 Do they get the virgins if the bomb was dropped by a Warthog?

#7 They said a U.S. aircraft dropped at least one bomb on the one-storey office around 2 a.m. (2200 GMT Sunday) and virtually destroyed it.

Heh, ONE bomb.

#8 Frank G - I think you can be a "holy warrior" even if you assume room temperature without firing a shot.
By the way, it is actually , "Allahu Akh-boom-SQUISH-baa.."!

#9 Bomb-a-rama: These are not buildings constructed according to the California strict earthquake codes. Look at another good aspect. Less taxpayer expense if only one bomb is needed.

#10 Big Ed: Ever hear the one about Osama Yo' Mama going to paradise to get his 72 virgins and out walks George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and 70 others who stand in line and beat the stew out of him. Osama turns to God and asks what happened and God tells him "Stupid, I said 72 Virginians!"

#11 BA - plus George Mason, Patrick Henry, James Madison, Edmund Randolph, Richard Henry Lee, Geoge Wyeth (sp?) just for starters. Thats whats so funny, there were SO MANY prominent patriots from the old dominion, you probably COULD come up with 72 of them. (of course some, including Randolph, Henry, and even old Tom himself would be a tad too radical for most RBers)

#12 Liberalhawk, that's right--George Wyeth (pronounced WITH), who is one of my ancestors who lived in Colonial Williamsburg and worked as an architect with Thomas Jefferson!

#13 Jen - Any of us who have colonial Virginia ancestors would probably be proud to know that they would fit well in one of the 72 Virginians. My ancestors included Anne Washington, 3rd cousin of George, married to Christopher Gist Sr.. Those Gists were "rascals" too. Any of those folks would be happy to do a # on the Jihadis.

#14 Man, am I glad to finally see one of my greatest jokes get some press! I heard that tater has now vowed to "enlarge" the war against our troops if we go in after him. Like GWB, I say, "Bring it on!"
