1. I dunno, but I doubt it'll ever be given to the Italians...
It's probably been "cubed" in a wrecker yard in NJ by now.;)

12. This is all the 'hoopla'
"When The Associated Press in Baghdad asked the U.S. military to see the vehicle on Saturday, the military said it didn't know where it was."

15. I guess "misplacing the car" is part of the "comprehensive investi-
gation" promised by the Pentagon. If this goddam mess were just a cheap novel, it would be funny. However...

17. How did "they" lose the CAR? WHERE IS THE F'ing CAR?
You don't lose a car of this signifigance. It is a crime scene. Where is it? Did they dump it in the river? Did vandals steal every piece of it that was left over night?

WHERE IS THE CAR?

International outrage surely must be headed our way. Lost the car, my ass.

20. Nice job, BlueBear, where did you find the pic and how do you know
this is the car? Where are the 300+ rounds fired into it?

22. Why, right in the front....can't you see?
They only fired a couple of shots to break the engine block....just like Scott McClellan said. The poor journalist was just confused (she's a communist, you know)

Oh, and the picture is not the ACTUAL car, but an authentic and genuine replica made in Langley Virginia, as the original was somehow missplaced.

Iraq is a big place, ya know. They STILL haven't found the damn WMD's, its just a big place and stuff gets lost.

25. Cute, made me smile and tell Jacobin to quit promoting your humor.
This really is not an issue to joke about, but I do appreciate your attempt. Jacobin on the other hand is offensive, and that is just in my very humble opinion.

Really, that's the car. REALLY, it IS. Scott McClelland says everything is cool.

THAT is the car. Really, it is.

21. Your humor as well as BlueBear's escapes me today. I'm not laughing.
Neither should you all be.

26. Wow OK I consider myself chided
Sorry for speculating that Bush and Co. are likely to trot out a replica at any moment with nothing but a few holes in it. Shame, I was really cracking up here. :eyes:

27. Forgiven, but really dear sir or madam, this is not something to be
joking about or making fun of right now. We need answers, not jokes.

Edited on Mon Mar-07-05 03:40 PM by Bluebear
Only a LOT of questions.

(PS political satire has always been an art form. It's not meant to make you "laugh", just to think. :)

Edited on Mon Mar-07-05 05:09 PM by anarchy1999
we not spend a little serious time on this issue?

I'm really biting my tongue at this moment, towards you and a couple of others (specifically, Jacobin). You both, IMHO are way out of line!

The best Jacobin is able to respond with is "Pfft". And an apology for not taking it seriously enough? Are the two of you juveniles lurking away on DU with nothing better to do?
