How incompetent can the Pakistanni's be?

[SINthysist]

They handed over a top al-Qaeda member to the United States full of holes...

Alive.

How fucked up is that?



They don't get Bush's rhetoric. Dead or alive is a euphemism for DEAD!

The sick thing about this is that they handed him over to the AMERICANS!
Why didn't they hand him over to Jordan or Egypt where they aren't constrained in the methods used to extract information?

 

[p_p_man]

What!

another top al Qaida man?

Do me a favour. He's probably some canon fodder who America's elevated to disguise the fact they haven't got very far with this "war" yet.

Apart from destroying a stone age country that is.

Yeah.

But once here had to say something otherwise my journey would have been wasted!

But you know SINthysist. He thinks everything is centred around the States...

I had my first ever from the tap Guiness tonight and I must say it tastes much better after it has warmed up some. Once I let it warm up some to 5 or 6 degrees bellow room temp it was much smoother.

Yep, we're revenging the defeated Crown. Hasn't Tony been summoned to the States this week? The President of the EU can tag along too. Or has been rotated out already?

Very funny.

Reminds me of something yesterday.

Opening day at Royals stadium. I'm listening to talk radio, flipping through the stations trying to find anything other than baseball when I tune in 710 AM.

They cut to thier correspondent at the ballpark for the latest score. The fucker had the thickest British accent I have ever heard in my life!

Now that's just fucking wrong!

Do Americans do the cricket matches?

Some things are just meant to be kept separate...

Americans doing cricket matches, give us a break.

What would they know about silly point, backward square leg or deep gully?

 

[SINthysist]

That's my point.

The sacrifice fly. The balk. The bean. The spitter...

Sir! I knew that you were an American of discerning taste!

See, Euro "room" is much cooler than our "room temp." - actually an old Brit told me that it isn't even supposed to be @ room temp - but cellar floor temp...

Welcome to fine Ale & Stout quaffing!

the first one I understand, the other three doh!

How about third man, long leg, silly mid on.

 

[SINthysist]

Hell, I don't know the first thing about cricket.

Balk - pitcher making an illegal move away from the plate with his foot on the rubber (get it now?).

Bean - what the pitcher does to the batter when he thinks he's taking too much of the plate (clearer?).

Spitter - Pitcher's illegal treatment of the ball in order to get more movement (now, surely, you must get that one...).

'Spokie, face it - both games are far too esoteric for the uninitiated to understand - BTW, why would any self-respecting Scot stoop to play such a Limey-poofter game?

FIT-ball, Man! Rugby (Union, League, matters not!) would be the two I associate w/ the land of my Ancestors
