#1 And in other cultural-combat news back home:

NEW YORK (AP) - The NBA has another ugly scene to recover from. This one involved its leading scorer and happened in its most famous arena.

Denver's Carmelo Anthony and the other nine players on the court at the time were ejected for fighting during a wild brawl between the Nuggets and Knicks, triggered in part by a New York team that felt it was being shown up on its home floor.

#5 Let's see. Iran is sorta central in Asia. So's Pakistan.

So is Russia. Most of the weapons are originating there, and being shipped through third parties, but Russia is the big exporter.

I still say one good ARCLIGHT strike down through central Mogadischu would put an end to the entire war. It'd be kind of hard on Mogadischu and fluffy bunnies, though.

#8 Is it wishful thinking to hope this evolves into a War that brings in Christians from around the world to protect Ethopia?

#10 I just want Santa to fly in undetected and practice them clusterbombs for effect thingies.
It can't be too hard to find the Army of Islamic Jihadies in the sand. Find 'em, finger 'em, clusterfuck 'em, and forget 'em.
