#1 where's .com and his 40km strip?

Now that I think about it, there might be a few odd Rantburgers being distracted by other trivialities, it being Christmas Day and all.

But someone out there is working. Just got mail. The Nigerian guy who wants to put all that money in my checking account has moved to Zimbabwe. But he's got an address p_kund@simbamail.fm What country would that be?

#3 I keep hearing about how the U.S. is preparing to "go after" pakistan and soddi. It sounds like we're getting some preemptive spin from the wahhabists for when they start getting rolled up.

I certainly hope the dead-enders in both governments start developing extra holes in their heads soon. A good epidemic of lead poisoning might be just what's needed.

#4 ..starting with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, and making no concessions.

It's about time Pakistan took on a more prominent position on the radar screen. The ISI, madrassas, Peshawar, nuclear "assistance" to other countries, etc. There's too much going on there to ignore, regardless of who is running the show in that place.

#5 iiiiihhh. Now having bothered to see if there was substance, this is just some be-turbanned pundit journalist slipped his chain for a minute. He's running off at the keyboard as if he's got access to juicy inside stuff. And even if he does, how good was binny&co. prognostications of US behavior from 9/11 -- now?

This same source as that Bechtel scandalrag story today. Wonder if they also picked up and ran the story and pictures of binny and sammie's wedding.
