3. Now we know WHY "Saddam had to go".....
Edited on Mon Jun-20-05 01:18 PM by BlueEyedSon
disliking Fruit Loops is downright UNAMERICAN, practically SATANIC.

13. How does he feel about Apple Jacks? America needs to know.
Seriously, Apple Jacks kicks the shit out of Froot Loops. The way the left-over milk is flavored by the sugar - I think I'm sneaking for a bowl right now.

20. So the threat to America is that Iran is secretly stealing stocks of
Apple Jacks and threatening to sell it on the black market to rogue nations?

Makes about as much sense as any of the 28 reasons why we went to war in Iraq.

9. Dumb story, but check out his former Guards, this photo really is...
...a wake up call, when folks say, "...sending our Kids over there to fight..." I never think of soldiers that look this young!



...Interviewed in GQ magazine’s July issue, the men said Saddam greatly admires President Reagan and thought President Clinton was “OK,” but had harsh words for both President Bushes, each of whom went to war against him.

“The Bush father, son, no good,” Cpl. Jonathan “Paco” Reese, 22, of Millville, Pa., quotes Saddam as saying in English. But his fellow GI, Specialist Sean O’Shea, then 19, says Saddam later softened that view....

14. Well, his good friend Reagan did give and sell him all that

neat stuff that he could use against the Kurds and Iranians.

And provide him intelligence so he could use it more effectively.

10. On AAR news, they reported that, and also that Saddam didn't like
GHW Bush or GW Bush (duh!), but that he admires Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton.

12. is DORITOS part of the same company that makes/owns CHEETOS?
Edited on Mon Jun-20-05 01:40 PM by flordehinojos
somewhere in the back of my mind, i think i read that POPPY BUSH holds stock on those companies but whatever i read, i read such a long time ago .. i am not sure--but i remember something about it because i made a mental note not to buy one single DORITO or CHEETOS again EVER as long as the bushes hold any stock in the companies--and i have basically kept my mental promise to myself!!!!

at a big sacrifice to me, since i love them both!

So... now the question is, being A FRIEND OF DORITOS, IS SADDAM HUSSEIN SUPPORTING THE BUSH TRILOGY?

17. What? No missing white woman in peril?
Edited on Mon Jun-20-05 01:57 PM by Julius Civitatus
Where is the world coming to? Cable news networks should only focus on what's important: 24/7 coverage of "missing white women in peril."

18. Typical slipshod reporting
Nacho Cheese or Cool Ranch? Was it because he couldn't get the Taco flavor Doritos anymore that caused him to gas his own people?
