Relevance Is in the Eye of the Beholder
President Bush says that the time has come for the UN to demonstrate that it remains relevant. He has certainly assured his own relevance by posting 200K troops on Iraq's border! His saber is rattling, he just can't get it out of his pants...er...uh...scabbard!

But, Didn't We Know That Already?
They say US intelligence is just a bunch of shit (like countless incidents have already proven). US intelligence provided to the UN weapons inspectors is 'Garbage' to use the word in the CBS report. Although, the CBS reporter acknowledges that a "cruder word" was used.
Locked and Loaded
Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld says, "We're just waiting for the order from Bush." Oh, a hard rain is gonna fall.

Who's In Charge Here?
Ariana Huffington is no screaming liberal, but look at what she says about our leaders. Maybe if Kim Jong Il in North Korea was sitting on an ocean of oil, we'd be equally concerned about (pick one: democracy, weapons of mass destruction, human rights) in Korea as we are about Iraq.
So Many Choices, Such Little Brain Power!
This is what rattling our saber will get us. Let's hope for something better.
They're at It Again!
A North Korean Mig has violated South Korean airspace. The South Koreans are calling it a "provocation." They escorted the Mig out of their airspace with 6 fighters of their own. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence!

Algerian Journalist Infiltrates Al-Qaeda
An Algerian journalist infiltrated Islamic fundamentalists in Paris. He could speak the language, he knew the religion, and he understood the anger. That's why we say it would be so hard for one of our spies to do it. Shit, a white upper-middle class kid from Marin County, California did it! And he personally met Osama bin Laden! Really, how hard can it be? A hispanic guy from Chicago did it, and got training in Afghanistan. C'mon, I bet we got people in there now. If we don't we're really lame.

Protesters Will Not Determine American Security
What's wrong W? Is the great unwashed just too untrustworthy to be allowed to make decisions? Is your Imperial Intelligence so much better at deciding our future than our idealistic childish dreams? Isn't that what democracy is? Don't we get to decide our own course? I guess we don't, when we are in such capable hands. The hands that have failed in every business venture that they have ever tried to manage. There is a certain arrogant nobless oblige operating here.
Top Five Saber Rattlers as of Posting Time
1. North Korea (now they're threatening to withdraw from the 1953 armistice agreement!)
2. US (accepting for the Bush administration, George W. Bush)
3. UK (we're still not really a part of Europe, but we would like a second resolution)
4. Israel (we're passing out the gas masks except to the Palestinians)
5. India & Pakistan (tie, they haven't said anything, they just belong here!)

No Dong
I am not making this up! The North Korean single stage rocket is called the No Dong. Don't they test market this stuff? I mean you gotta have a focus group before you pick a name.
North Korea: We Will Win a Nuclear War
Top Five Saber Rattlers as of Posting Time
1. North Korea (we may be reduced to eating grass, but we got the BOMB!)
2. Israel (we got the BOMB, and we got real food)
3. US (we can't just sit around and wait for a bunch of pussies in Europe to get their nerve up!)
4. UK (uh...we're not really part of Europe)
5. India & Pakistan (tie, they must have said something!)
