Someone's View of the Iraqi confrontation and/or humor

Post by Rune »

This was posted at another forum by someone other than myself.

Besides the distinct lack of paragraphs, I found it to a half-decent attempt at humor. If it was humor... and I hope it was.

That’s right. Stock up on gummy worms guys and gals because you won’t be able to sit and do nothing for much longer. Things are going to happen and I don’t mean in the next presidential term. Just watching the news I saw that Bush would be sending 10s of thousands of troops to the Persian Gulf within the next two months. In the form of 2 aircraft squads(or whatever the term is) and medical ships and all the whoos-its and whats-its of war. This is my prediction of how things are going to happen starting with the UN approving the weapons inspections.
Iraq sends regurgitated weapons information to the US from a long time ago, hiding the fact that they have all the goodies that they can’t wait to use. In the same swing, they also convinced the Iraq public that they are a clean country. Saddam announced to his (is it his?) country that ‘even though we have no nuclear weapons, the U.S. will attack us anyway because we are right and they are wrong’. That’s not word for word, but that’s the idea behind it. We will go to war, and Saddam will say: SEE! I TOLD YOU! They hate us for no reason! The Iraq public will then hate our country (even more than they do now) and their military will double or something. When we open fire on Iraq, good ol’ N. Korea will come to their aid. *Rapture* Then the rest is all in Revelation.
That’s my un-educated naive theory and you can criticize it all you want, because I know some of you know this better than I do. But I do know that we are reckoning with a force stronger than any army of this world. When Israel became a nation again, it started. WE are part of events foreseen, but not unstoppable. How that works, don’t ask me. Down this slippery slope we slip, while the dark one waits his turn. I feel sorry for all those who will be left here during those times. While im up looking down, Evil will reign here for a while, and then…
what’s the word im looking for…Shazam…good, bad? Miracle? Doom? Yes? No? Maybe? I don’t know. Can you repeat the question? When the toast is burned and all the milk has turned and captain crunch is waiving Farwell. When the Big One finds you may this song remind you that they don’t serve breakfast in hell. Somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep: Disorder, Disorder, DISORDER!

The board does have a PM service.

It's annoying when someone starts their posting with nothing more than a link from something someone else said on some other board.

I don't poke. I *thwap* people. In this case, with an arclight mission. :twisted:

*takes the thwap with a smile and pride*

Is this... all you have? Come on, surely someone can adequately smite a self-absorbed newbie?

I don't think SLAM is the appropriate place for poking. It belongs in OT. However, you could make it scientific by calculating the energy released by a poke, and the pressure at the are where the poke is applied.

There might also be a medical component, ie- proctology, depending on where the victim is poked :)

Want to figure out the energy released by my thwap? Assume the mission used 3 B-52s
