Correction: Israel-Palestinians Story

http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/world/wire/sns-ap-israel-palestinians-corrective,0,3969298.story?coll=sns-ap-world-headlines



I dunno...  I don't always see "Corrections" that often.  Thought it would 
be a great filler while everyone tries to escape the ufos.

President Swears in New Egyptian Cabinet

http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/world/wire/sns-ap-egypt-cabinet,0,6045932.story?coll=sns-ap-world-headlines


(I can just see the copy for this one, heh)


"Today, the government-funded hardwood cabinet was delivered to the 
Egyptian Parliament.  The cabinet is another round of the continuation of a 
frenzy now gripping The Middle East and Europe after U.S. Vice-President 
Dick Cheney's 4 letter word adventure occurred on the floor of the 
Senate.  It is apparently the overseas rendition of an American 
tradition.  American politicians have been swearing at anyone and anything 
forever.  Now the rest of the world wants in on it apparently.  Their 
response to queries about their cabinets was summed up by the Belgian Prime 
Minister "We've wanted to tell various people where to go for so many 
years, and now that we have the opportunity afforded us by the example of 
The Americans, we are going to utilize it to the best extent 
possible.  Film at 11."


Heh...   Actually that above story is about how, after firing most? of the 
Egyptian Cabinet, the new Egyptian Government's "self-devised plans toward 
reform and modernization" are going to deal with the $6.8 Billion budget 
deficit, mainly caused by The Poor in Egypt =eating too much food=, in 
another Middle East dictatorship which prides itself on literal "Yes-No" 
"elections" while the restless again "demand real presidential elections" 
as they continue to sweat out the basic Martial Law they have lived under 
since 1981.


These Egyptians, by the way, are the same people the Israelis are calling 
upon to train "The New Palestinian Police".






Iran Says It Gave Terror Suspect to Saudis

http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/world/wire/sns-ap-iran-al-qaida,0,1017973.story?coll=sns-ap-world-headlines


Interesting story, however, among others, the part that caught my eye was:

"Al-Harby is the third man to surrender under a Saudi amnesty that has been 
accompanied by aggressive efforts to capture those who don't give up."

Considering that such crimes as rape in Saudi Arabia rates getting one's 
head chopped off with a large sword, I'm just wondering what "Saudi 
Amnesty" actually means.

Al-Harby, by the way, was in the videotape in Afghanistan with bin-Laden as 
he talked about 911.

Saudi Cleric Seeks Extension of Amnesty

http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/world/wire/sns-ap-saudi-negotiator,0,6642714.story?coll=sns-ap-world-headlines

"The cleric spent five years in jail without trial because of his criticism 
of U.S. involvement in the 1991 Gulf War to end Iraq's occupation of 
neighboring Kuwait. Like many Islamic extremists, al-Hawaly also opposed 
the presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia."


Ok, some day, you'll just have to face it all.

"America", dagnabit, just has some *very* strange "Buddies".

Five years for simply *Criticizing*.

Not even a trial.    LOL.......................

Our bestest buddies.       LOL........................


No wonder we airlifted all the Saudis we could out of here right near 911.

I'm slow, but eventually I get it.


In apparently many cases it appears our bestest buddies are absolutely no 
different than our worstest enemies except for having more money and oil.

And letting some of us have some of it some of the time.



And The Solution is.........????



There is no Solution.




They're all totally wacked out at The Top apparently.

That's why it's so wacked out at The Bottom.


Maybe some more people at The Middle will wake up one day and realize that.


Because the wacked out people at The Top are too drunk on power to care.

And the people at The Bottom never sleep.






And that leaves all the little bunnies, trees, birds, kiddies, rivers, 
mice, cats, dogs, penguins and tree sloths where.............????








In the care of madmen.
