So now the "insurgents" are using ultra-low-tech methods to attack high-value targets (HVT's) in Iraq

Faced with an American military crackdown using all the paraphernalia of high-technology warfare, Iraqi insurgents resorted today to the humblest of creatures and the simplest of transports to carry out what American officers called "spectacular" strikes against heavily fortified targets in Baghdad.
...
American commanders said they had no immediate suspects in the attacks. The donkey carts themselves yielded few clues, beyond the sort of hand-lettered inscriptions that Middle Eastern carters commonly inscribe on their vehicles. "Allah, Muhammad, Ali," one said, invoking the Shiite Muslim trinity of God, the Prophet Muhammad and the Shiites' first imam, Ali.
...
The donkeys were tethered to trees, with the rockets inserted inside home-made launchers linked to car batteries and time-fuses, and hidden under hay. But these "contraptions," as one American officer called them, were armed with powerful battlefield rockets. Several feet long and as big around as a fire hose, they were said by American officers to have been either Soviet-made 107-millimeter or Brazilian-made 122-millimeter rockets, two types that were stockpiled by Mr. Hussein's army before the American invasion. They have a range of up to 10 miles.
In a most Ironic news note, the crew of the USS Vandegrift (FFG-48) made a port call in Vietnam. Reportedly, a popular site for visits: The Tunnels at Cu Chi, which the VC and NVA used to frustrate and attack US and South Vietnamese targets, and then disappear like fog in a high wind.

Former US Senator from Georgia, Max Cleland said this not too long ago

Welcome to Vietnam, Mr. President. Sorry you didn't go when you had the chance
That's what I'm talking about...

Did I hear "Port Call". If Viet NAM is having us for port call does that mean they won? Seriously(?)I read where one of the swabby's favorite bars is called "Apocolypse Now"
Maybe Bushie would like to go back and remember his war there.

Commander Codpiece is not confused like President (Saint) Reagan. He does not (yet) make the claim that he fought in the war.

As a side note, I always wonder why the Fascist Party hasn't emphasized the fact that President Old-timer's Disease defeated Hitler single-handed, and liberated all those concentration camp prisoners.

Oh. Wait. Those prisoners were jewish, and therefore librul.

Silly me to have forgotten that.

Dear Mr. Cleland:

Regarding your recent comments on President Bush - "It's better to have kept ones mouth shut and be thought of as a fool, than to have opened it and therefore remove all doubt." If you had been at Fort Gordon when you got drunk and dropped the grenade on yourself - no one would have ever heard of you.
We voters from Georgia removed you from office because you are a dud not for being unpatriotic. How anyone can aline themself with the likes of Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton and the slime ball Terry Mcauliffe is way beyond my comprehension. Please don't use Georgia in your conversations - you are an embarssment to us all.

P.S. Go back to making perverted phone calls like when you were the Ga Secretary of State - while wasting taxpayers money.
