Shots Across The Bow

This one's for Bubba

A look on the lighter side; God knows we all need it.

As the Democrat filibuster on the supplemental budget bill to fund the war in Iraq entered it's second month, the President was forced to find a new method of generating revenue.

Meanwhile, the US military has been forced to improvise, adapt, and overcome.

US generals, along with the SecDef, Donald Rumsfeld, decided to push back the attack on Baghdad for a few days to allow the soldiers some R and R. This enterprising marine took full advantage of it.

The war took a turn for the worse, as Iraqi terrorists unveiled a new weather control weapon in East Tennessee. First week of spring my butt!

The crew of the USS Enterprise gathered today to say farewell
to the French Ambassador, who had been making a tour of ships in the gulf.

In order to counter their false image as "cheese eating surrender monkeys", the French army announced today the formation of a new Special Forces group, the Raspberry Berets. A representative of the new unit is seen here, walking next to two NATO troopers.

Members of this unit can be found practicing their most devastating tactic, fierce taunting, at any opportunity.

In a further effort to "shock and awe" the Iraqi army into submission, the Pentagon today unveiled it's newest generation Stealth fighter, code named Diana.

Not to be outdone, the US Coast Guard also got into the act, showing off their latest mission-specific craft, designed to take out Iraqi suicide speedboats, or the occasional fisherman.

Technology is not always about killing. TheBBC today announced the invention of the first universal translator, suggesting that it will be helpful to US forces in the coming months.

These images, except for the snow are all from Attrition.org's military gallery.
