September 11, 2001... We Will Never Forget!

Saddam says that if anybody else compares him to Hitler, he'll gas them.

"Towel Heads" is no longer a politically correct term.

The other day I heard that the Taliban are getting upset because people Keep referring to them as "towel heads." Apparently, they do not wear towels on their heads, they wear sheets. In the future, when you refer to them, please use their correct name -- "sheet heads."

Q: Have you heard about the new Iraqi air force exercise program?
A: Each morning you raise your hands above your head and leave them there.

Q: How many Iraqi's does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Four:
- One to screw in the light bulb.
- One to claim that they've actually screwed in 300 light bulbs.
- One to claim that they've unscrewed 150 American light bulbs.
- And one to claim that they're screwing and unscrewing light bulbs for the Palestinians.

Letter From the Citizens of the USA

Dear Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein,

We are pleased to announce that we unequivocally accept your challenge to an old-fashioned game of whoop-ass. Now that we understand the rule that there are no rules, we look forward to playing by them for the first time.

Since this game is a winner-take-all, we unfortunately are unable to invite you to join us at the victory celebration. But rest assured that we will toast you -- LITERALLY.

While we will admit that you are off to an impressive lead, it is however now our turn at the plate.  By the way, we will be playing on your court now.

Batter up.

Sincerely,
The 270,000,000 citizens of the United States of America

New York, 2060

An eighty-year-old man is walking around New York with his grandson in the year 2060. The old man stops for a second, takes off his hat and bows his head. He puts his hat back on and starts walking again. The grandson asks, "Grandpa, what was that you just did?"

The old man says, "Well, a long time ago these ragheads from Pakistan came and leveled a couple of our buildings and a lot of people died."

The little boy paused for a second and said, "Grandpa, what's Pakistan?"

Patriotism

As we all know, the Taliban consider it a sin for a man to see a naked woman who is not his wife. So, this Saturday at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time all North American women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists. Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort. All men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their house to prove they think it's okay to see other women nude and to show support for their fellow sisters. And since the Taliban also do not approve of alcohol, a cold six-pack at your side is further proof of your anti-Taliban sentiment. The United States of America appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and applauds your participation.

A Letter to the FAA

Federal Aviation Agency
800 Independence Avenue S.W.
Washington D.C. 20591

Dear Sirs:
I have the solution for the prevention of hijackings and at the same time getting our airline industry back on its feet.
Since men of the Muslim religion are not allowed to look at naked women, we should replace all of our female flight attendants with strippers.
Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing a naked woman, and of course, every businessman in this country would start flying again in hopes of seeing a naked woman.
We would have no more hijackings, and the airline industry would have record sales.

Now why didn't Bush think of this? Why do I still have to do everything myself?

Sincerely,

Bill Clinton

Osama's Magical Mirror

Before coming down to the breakfast cave every morning, Osama bin Laden would look into his magical mirror and ask, "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the biggest asshole of them all?" The mirror would reply, "You are Osama".

That would make his day and he would arrive at the breakfast cave with a huge smile on his face, before indulging in his goat's milk and dried cowpat cereal.

Not a day went by when he wouldn't ask the mirror, and every day the mirror would confirm his question. Yes, he was in fact, the biggest asshole of them all. One day, Osama arrived at the breakfast table with a huge scowl on his face, and he was obviously very upset. One of his eleven wives summed up the courage to ask him, "What's wrong Osama?"

Osama replied, "WHO THE FUCK IS HAMID KARZEI?"

Hussein and Bush Meet in Baghdad

Saddam Hussein and George Bush meet up in Baghdad for the first round of talks in a new peace process. When George sits down, he notices three buttons on the side of Saddam's chair.

They begin talking. After about five minutes Saddam presses the first button. A boxing glove springs out of a box on the desk and punches Bush in the face.

Confused, Bush carries on talking as Saddam laughs.

A few minutes later the second button is pressed. This time a big boot comes out and kicks Bush in the shin. Again Saddam laughs, and again Bush carries on talking, not wanting to put off the bigger issue of peace between the two countries.

But when the third button is pressed and another boot comes out and kicks Bush in the privates, he's finally had enough, knowing that he can't do much without them functioning well. "I'm going back home!" he tells the Iraqi. "We'll finish these talks in two weeks!"

A fortnight passes and Saddam flies to the United States for talks. As the two men sit down, Hussein notices three buttons on Bush's chair and prepares himself for the Yank's revenge.

They begin talking and George presses the first button. Saddam ducks, but nothing happens. Bush snickers. A few seconds later he presses the second button. Saddam jumps up, but again nothing happens. Bush roars with laughter. When the third button is pressed, Saddam jumps up again, and again nothing happens. Bush falls on the floor in a fit of hysterics.

"Forget this," says Saddam. "I'm going back to Baghdad!"

Bush says through tears of laughter, "What Baghdad?"

Their Sons Are Martyrs

Two Iraqis are chatting. One of them has his wallet out and is flipping through pictures.

"This is my oldest. He's a martyr."

"Here's my second son. He's a martyr, too."

Saddam Hussein Has a Dream

Saddam Hussein phoned President George W. Bush. "I had a dream about the United States," he said. "I could see the whole country, and over every building and home was a banner," said Hussein.

"What was on the banner?" asked Mr. Bush.

"Long Live Saddam!" answered the Arab dictator.

"I am so glad that you called," said President Bush, "because I too had a dream. In my dream, I saw Iraq and it was more beautiful than ever; totally rebuilt, many, many beautiful tall, gleaming buildings, filled with clean-shaven workers, both male & female and over every building and home was a big, beautiful banner."

"What did the banner say?" asked Saddam.

"I don't know," answered President Bush, "I can't read Hebrew!"

Dealing With Peace Activists

With all of this talk of impending war, many of us will encounter "Peace Activists" who will try and convince us that we must refrain from retaliating against the ones who terrorized us all on September 11, 2001.

These activists may be alone or in a gathering.....most of us don't know how to react to them. When you come upon one of these people, or one of their rallies, here are the proper rules of etiquette:

1. Listen politely while this person explains their views. Strike up a conversation if necessary and look very interested in their ideas. They will tell you how revenge is immoral, and that by attacking the people who did this to us, we will only bring on more violence. They will probably use many arguments, ranging from political to religious to humanitarian.

2. In the middle of their remarks, without any warning, punch them in the nose.

3. When the person gets up off of the ground, they will be very angry and they may try to hit you, so be careful.

4. Very quickly and calmly remind the person that violence only brings about more violence and remind them of their stand on this matter. Tell them if they are really committed to a non-violent approach to undeserved attacks, they will turn the other cheek and negotiate a solution. Tell them they must lead by example if they really believe what they are saying.

5. Most of them will think for a moment and then agree that you are correct.

6. As soon as they do that, hit them again. Only this time hit them much harder. Square in the nose.

7. Repeat steps 2-5 until the desired results are obtained and the idiot realizes how stupid of an argument he/she is making.

8. There is no difference in an individual attacking an unsuspecting victim or a group of terrorists attacking a nation of people. It is unacceptable and must be dealt with. Perhaps at a high cost. We owe our military a huge debt for what they are about to do for us and our children. We must support them and our leaders at times like these. We have no choice. We either strike back, VERY HARD, or we will keep getting hit in the nose.

Just a few punches to mention:

Stand Up for America Rally Speech
By: Beth Chapman

This is from a speech given in Tennessee:

I'm here tonight because men and women of the United States military have given their lives for my freedom. I am not here tonight because Sheryl Crowe, Rosie O'Donnell, Martin Sheen, George Clooney, Jane Fonda or Phil Donahue, sacrificed their lives for me.

If my memory serves me correctly, it was not movie stars or musicians, but the United States Military who fought on the shores of Iwo Jima, the jungles of Vietnam, and the beaches of Normandy.

Tonight, I say we should support the President of the United States and the U.S. Military and tell the liberal, tree-hugging, Birkenstock-wearing, hippy, tie-dyed liberals to go make their movies and music and whine somewhere else.

After all, if they lived in Iraq, they wouldn't be allowed the freedom of speech they're being given here today. Ironically, they would be put to death at the hands of Sadam Hussein or Osama Bin Laden.

I want to know how the very people who are against war because of the loss of life, can possibly be the same people who are for abortion?

They are the same people who are for animal rights but against the rights of the unborn.

The movie stars say they want to go to Iraq and serve as "human shields" for the Iraqis. I say let them buy a one-way ticket and go.

No one likes war. I hate war! But the one thing I hate more is the fact that this country has been forced into war-innocent people have lost their lives - - and there but for the grace of God, it could have been my brother, my husband, or even worse my own son.

On December 7, 1941, there are no records of movie stars treading the blazing waters of Pearl Harbor.

On September 11, 2001; there are no photos of movie stars standing as "human shields" against the debris and falling bodies descending from the World Trade Center. There were only policemen and firemen - -underpaid civil servants who gave their all with nothing expected in return.

When the USS Cole was bombed, there were no movie stars guarding the ship - - where were the human shields then?

If America's movie stars want to be human shields, let them shield the gang-ridden streets of Los Angeles, or New York City, let them shield the lives of the children of North Birmingham whose mothers lay them down to sleep on the floor each night to shelter them from stray bullets.

If they want to be human shields, I say let them shield the men and women of honesty and integrity who epitomize courage and embody the spirit of freedom by wearing the proud uniforms of the United States Military. Those are the people who have earned and deserve shielding!

Throughout the course of history, this country has remained free, not because of movie stars and liberal activists, but because of brave men and women who hated war too. However, they lay down their lives so that we all may live in freedom. After all - "What greater love hath no man, that he lay down his life for his friend," or in this case a country.

We should give our military honor and acknowledgement and not let their lives be in vain. If you want to see true human shields, walk through Arlington Cemetery. There lie human shields, heroes, and the BRAVE Americans who didn't get on television and talk about being a human shield - they were human shields.

I thank God tonight for freedom - - those who bought and paid for it with their lives in the past - - those who will protect it in the present and defend it in the future.

America has remained silent too long! God-fearing people have remained silent too long!

We must lift our voices united in a humble prayer to God for guidance and the strength and courage to sustain us throughout whatever the future may hold.

After the tragic events of Sept. 11th, my then eleven -year-old son said terrorism is a war against us and them and if you're not one of us, then you're one of them.

So in closing tonight, let us be of one accord, let us stand proud, and let us be the human shields of prayer, encouragement and support for the President, our troops and their families and our country.

Osama's Inter-Cave Memo

From: Bin Laden, Osama
Sent: Monday, May 19, 2002 8:17 AM
To: Al Qaida Cavemates
Subject: Inter-Cave Memo

Hi guys--praise Allah. We've all been putting in long hours once again, and we've really come together as a group--I love that. Big thanks to Omar for putting up the poster that says, "There is no 'I' in team," as well as the one that says, "Hang In There, Baby." That cat is hilarious. However, while we are fighting a Jihad, we can't forget to take care of the cave. And frankly, I have a few concerns.

First of all, while it's good to be concerned about cruise missiles, we should be even more concerned about the scorpions in our cave. Hey, you don't want to be stung and neither do I, so we need to sweep the cave daily. I've posted a sign-up sheet near the main cave opening.

Second, it's not often I make a video address, but when I do, I'm trying to scare the most powerful country on earth, okay? That means that while we're taping, please do not ride your razor scooter in the background. Just while we're taping.
Thanks.

Third point, and this is a touchy one. As you know, by edict, we're not supposed to shave our beards. But I need everyone to just think hygiene, especially after mealtime. We're all in this together.

Fourth: Food. I bought a box of Cheez-Its recently, clearly wrote "Osama" on the front, and put it on the top shelf. Today, my Cheez-Its were gone. Consideration--that's all I'm saying.

Finally, we've heard that there may be American soldiers in disguise trying to infiltrate our ranks. I want to set up patrols to look for them. First patrol will be Omar, Mohammed, Abdul, Akbar, and Bobby.

Death to infidels,
Osama

Osama, Lorena, Tonya and Hillary

While trying to escape through Pakistan, Osama Bin Laden found a bottle in a cave and picked it up. Suddenly, a female genie rose from the bottle and with a smile said "Master, may I grant you one wish?"

"You ignorant unworthy daughter-of-a-dog! Don't you know who I am? I don't need any common woman giving me anything," barked Bin Laden.

The shocked genie said, "Please, I must grant you a wish or I will be returned to that bottle forever."

Osama thought a moment. Then grumbled about the impertinence of the woman, and said, "Very well, I want to awaken with three white women in my bed in the morning, so just do it and be off with you!"

The annoyed genie said, "So be it !" and disappeared.

The next morning Bin Laden woke up in bed with Lorena Bobbitt, Tonya Harding and Hillary Clinton. His penis was gone, his knee was broken, and he had no health insurance.

Iraqi Sense of Humor

In a land where jokes about the president once were punishable by death, the collapse of Saddam's regime is allowing Iraqis to make fun of him. Like many things in Iraq, the jokes need some work. There has been little to laugh about during the Saddam's reign, so the Iraqis sense of humor is a little rusty.

Saddam and one of his flunkies go bird-hunting. The flunky shoots a bird on the first try, but the dictator misses too. and gets angry. When Saddam misses the third time, his flunky tells the boss he really did hit the bird, despite the evidence. "My God, its dead," he tells Saddam, "but it's still flying!"

While meeting with the Cabinet one day, Saddam issues a bizarre proclamation: "The elephant has wings to fly! After the meeting, someone asks Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, one of Saddam's top deputies, "Is it true that elephants have wings?" "Elephants do fly," he replies, "just not very high!"

Information Minister Mohammed Said al-Sahhaf: As a statue of Saddam is being pulled down behind him, a journalist asks, "Is Saddam falling?" "No," al-Sahhaf insists, "hats just someone who looks like Saddam."

Saddam's wife, Sajida, tells al-Douri to come to her house at midnight for a tryst and to show up wearing nothing. Al-Douri arrives in the buff, and finds Saddam at the door. Al-Douri, who never makes a decision without checking with the boss, explains: "I just wanted to know what I should wear tomorrow!"

With the war raging, Saddam calls to al-Douri, who runs into the room waving the V-for-victory sign with two fingers up. Saddam is elated: "We won! We won!" "No," al-Douri replies, "I'm telling you, its just you and me left!"

Shits and Turds

The Pentagon announced today the capture of the terrorist group in Iraq, Saddam Hussein's Iraqi Terrorists (SHIT). The Pentagon said they regard Saddam Hussein to be the Number One SHIT, and that he is at the top of their SHIT list.

The former dictator of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, had been actively recruiting both ex-soldiers and civilians to become SHITs with a marketing campaign copying the Dr. Pepper jingle, "I'm a SHIT, he's a SHIT, etc.... wouldn't you like to be a SHIT too?" This apparently would be considered a promotion for former Iraqi Army soldiers, but only a lateral transfer for those few remaining Republican Guard members that became active SHITs.

According to a Pentagon analyst, one of the most disturbing facets of these SHITS was their ability to disguise themselves as TURDs (Terrorists Underneath Raghead Diapers). It was difficult to distinguish between SHITs and TURDs without very close examination. The Pentagon further stated, however, that US forces no longer would need to shoot the SHIT and bomb the SHIT out of Iraq, or until the SHIT hit the fan.

Amidst the bombing, Saddam Hussein was heard whimpering that he was defying the U.S. occupation of his country only because it prevented him from getting his prescription for Prozac refilled.

"He is suffering the mother of all snits now that his medication has run out. We are fearful to be around him. It would be in the best interest of world peace to get him a mega dose of Prozac so he returns to his happy, cheerful self before it's too late," one of Saddam's close advisors said after being assured anonymity.

A White House source admitted that the President had previously considered the option of a Prozac airdrop over Hussein's bunker, but he decided against it, imagining the world with a smiling happy-go-lucky Saddam was just too much.

Arab-Based Saddam Humor

It's reported that Saddam jokes are popular now in the Arab countries. This is an article from WorldNetDaily about Saddam humor circulated on the Internet in Egypt.


Saddam Hussein may be out of power in Iraq, but his legacy is still alive among Internet jokes being passed around by Arabs in Egypt.

According to the Al-Majallah newspaper, the fall of Baghdad has given rise to humor, reflecting the shock and disappointment of people who thought Iraq would offer greater resistance.

It reportedly began with a message asking people to check CNN for Saddam's resignation on condition that he live in the White House. Then other messages featured a photo of the dictator with a caption reading, "Seeking employment pending fall of regime."

Al-Majallah says some of the jokes were in question-and-answer format:

* Saddam asks Bin Laden, what do I do when it's over? Bin Laden said: Hide in a cave, record some tapes and send them to Al-Jazeera.

* Saddam, how are you going to hang the Americans from the walls of Baghdad? Saddam says: "I didn't mean the city, I meant underground Baghdad."

The Iraqi information minister Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf, better known as "Baghdad Bob," is even featured in some of the jokes.

Have you heard the one about Saddam and Sahhaf on the banks of the Tigris? A man on the other side raises two fingers in a victory sign. "What happened?" asks Saddam. "Did we win the war?" "Don't be stupid," Sahhaf says. "He means there's just two of us left."

Saddam isn't the sole target of the jokes. President Bush and other westerners are prominently featured, according to the report.

Bush and Blair are giving a press conference. "Right," Bush says, "we're going to kill two million Iraqis and one construction worker."

Question from the press: "Why do you want to kill a construction worker?" Bush leans over to Blair and whispers: "Told you nobody gives a damn about the two million Iraqis."

Bush, Blair, and Saddam gathered one day on the banks of the Euphrates River. Bush asked his secret service to dive in and bring him a crocodile. The agents say: "Sorry sir, no can do-- we have wives and kids to look after." Blair tries, same result: "Sorry sir, no can do--we have wives and kids to look after." Then it's Saddam's turn, and all the agents jump in and bring him lots of crocodiles. Bush and Blair say: "How did you do that?"
Saddam says: "I have their wives and kids to look after."

Saddam, Bush, and Russia's Vladimir Putin are swimming in the Arabian Gulf when a giant whale appears. Bush says: "If you eat me, my warships will destroy you."

Putin says: "If you eat me, my missiles will destroy you."

They swim hard to the shore and escape by the skin of their teeth, only to find Saddam waiting on the beach.

"How did you get here so fast?" they ask.

Saddam says: "I told him my name, and he spit me out on the beach."
