| #8 I have been told in the past that a decent book on the subject of UN Peacekeeping efforts is Emergency Sex and Other Desperate Measures but have not read it myself. |

| #7 Well Fred - the Peacekeepers are also well known for their 'Food for Nookie' program as well. Particularly in the Dafur region. |

| #5 Actually, Fred's inner feeling is that the UN sends peacekeepers to hellholes, most of them African, to 'present a presence,' rather than actually doing anything of substance. Peacekeepers don't actually defend the aged, the infirm, or the otherwise helpless. They observe and report to the UN so that Ban Ki Moon can issue another ineffectual observation -- no, no, never a condemnation. That leaves the peacekeepeers with time on their hands, which they can spend porking the local dusky maidens. If you notice the date on the graphic, you'll see that I've had it since before I heard of B.O. or his little woman. Nor am I quite sure what we 'salute.' Pages 1, 2, 3, and 6 all contain straight news, even though not always presented with a straight face. Page 4 is opinion and you're welcome to salute or not, or even to write your own opinion and see if anybody else cares what you think. All that's probably too subtle for you. I'm sure I'm a racist, whether I realize it or not. |

| #3 Obviously fok'ing not Yeah, especially given the category here is Syria. Fred has an encyclopedic collection of lurid pulp magazine covers and Ziegfield-era babes that add color to the 'burg. Let's not overthink this. |

| #1 Would anyone assume that was Michelle in Fred's post? Maybe this is Fred's inner feelings being expressed despite himself/ Well, we do have those pics of the Messiah's mother posing like Backdoor Betty. I love Rantburg. Freedom of speech and then we salute. All the good news to enjoy about Islam doing islamic things. damn I love this place. |
