    And when the Russkies invaded Georgia they showed some Russian personnel carriers(BMT) and identified them as “tanks”
    and according to them “battleships” have been deployed to the Somalia coast.
    Ted Turner must be proud.

  3. I’m very happy when I’m traveling to find my hotel has Al Jazeera (no jok following – I’m quite serious!) – it’s so refreshing to see the world from an entirely different (non American) viewpoint … and there is just something so annoying about that whole damn CNN format…
