how to tell we're winning...
Has anyone seen the latest from the terrorists in Iraq who reportedly took a soldier hostage and threatened to behead him if Iraqi prisoners were not released? Well, if they did go through with this, it would be no worse than what many of us have done as kids, melting toy soldiers, since this soldier is nothing more than a G.I. Joe doll!
Well at least it's worth some comic relief (article taken from ScrappleFace.com):
Captive U.S. Soldier Doll Rescued by Bush Doll
by Scott Ott
(2005-02-01) -- Just hours after Islamic militants in Iraq threatened to behead a kidnapped U.S. soldier doll, the camouflaged action figure was rescued in a daring nighttime operation by a toy George W. Bush action figure.
The nine-inch-tall replica of the president left Andrews Air Force Base in a scale model of Air Force One within minutes after the Pentagon learned of the kidnapping from a picture on an Islamic website.
The top-secret flight was reminiscent of the life-size president's Thanksgiving visit to Baghdad in 2003. During the long trip, the presidential doll was programmed to say intimidating things in Arabic, and reportedly spent several hours practicing his kung-fu grip.
Even as the mission was secretly under way, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-MA, went before the Senate to call for the immediate withdrawal of 12,000 military action figures from Iraq.
Upon hearing of the Bush doll's successful mission, Sen. John Kerry, D-MA, warned against "overhyping" the significance of the apparently heroic deed.
Also the recent video of a British plane being shot down last Sunday is being investigated as a possible hoax. Man, it's not looking good for those insurgents...
