..you missed the boat here. Daddy Boy George failing his command for
the 2'nd time letting Saddam gas Kurds and massacre Shiias, thaught the
naive Muslims they are headed the same way the Jews were in 1933-1945.
..so, as a Muslim, you can either pretend Sissy Boy George is your
friend like the Jews pretended Hitler would not gas them, or you
can try fight the White Crusaders, or you can die trying, it's your ass.
..now seeing Sissy Boy George in Command certainly leaves hope for the
House of Islam, the only real worry is Amadinejad's idiot yakking about
nukes without having a proper missile defense is place.
