Please bear with me here....
Just a thought here...ever read a number of years ago of a high tech computer controlled smoke message systems for a group of airplanes?
Some flew over Austin skies years ago spelling out an advertisement in smoke at 5,000 feet.
It works something like this -- numerous planes in sequence send out puffs of smoke via radio computer control to spell out a smoke letter messages; works just like a dot-matrix printer in the sky.
Maybe a group of low flying planes could fly over Baghdad tomorrow to spell out something like, "GET YOUR FUCKING ACT TOGETHER", or maybe (borrowing from Firesign Theater), "EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG."
I have a deep sinking feeling about Iraq. How many more will be die?Nice job there, Bush you cocksucking motherfucking piece of shit president.

Don't worry. Be happy.

[Edit]

If the Defense Department tried to do that message over Iraq, it'd probably come out looking like another Muhammed cartoon, and would slowly drift over Mecca.

I'm with you on the basic concept, Randy, but you're not thinking big enough. You may have inspired an even better idea. I wonder how many planes we'd need to fly over Washington DC and spell out, "Nice job there, Bush you cocksucking motherfucking piece of shit president."

We, the western world, don't really understand Islamic culture.

Bush and cronies don't understand much of anything, especially Islamic culture.

I have said it, and so have many many others....

Democracy isn't peanutbutter, you can't "spread" it by anything other than EXAMPLE.

There were many many warnings about the possibility of civil war in Iraq, obviously this administration has paid about as much attention to them as they did the warnings about the New Orleans levies.

But seriously, did anyone expect anything different?

Dude is correct. Hell, I, a semi-educated redneck, knew more about Islamic culture than those dimwits, and probably still do.

Randy, I've got a better idea: wrap their collective ass in camo, hand them some M-16s, and send them to Fallujah with no body armor. Poetic justice hand in hand with the pratical kind.
