snip
an unknown number of civilian contractors are unaccounted for after a fuel convoy was attacked near the Baghdad International Airport today, a senior Pentagon official said. One U.S. soldier and an Iraqi driver were killed in the incident. The four-truck convoy was hit with small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades and exploded into flames, the official said.

4. Oh oh...the term unaccounted for...

5. That's not good.
I don't know if anyone has seen video of what these radical Muslims do to prisoners but I have. There was a very good reason why Russian soldiers carried cyanide on their person during their Afghanistan war. It is better to hope they are dead and not captured.

7. OK, so what is JK supposed to do....
...stand at the entrance to Logan and shout "stop you evil terroist!"? Actually, this may become a talking point. I had WDBO (Orlando) on the car radio this evening, and before I could switch to Echos on NPR, Michael Savage was saying the exact same thing...and complaining how everybody was blaming Bush! I shouted "but he was the freakin'PRESIDENT at the time, you asshole!" before punching the button.

10. Of course it's Kerry's fault...
if Edwards were the nominee, he would be blamed for allowing the al Quaida guys to fly over North Carolina on their way to Logan airport and Boston without interceptors of the National Guard which his friend, the Governor could have ordered. They never would have made it.

Or if Dean were the nominee, then he should have known to drive from close by Vermont over to Boston to stop these guys as they tried to board the plane. His scream alone would have stopped the plane.

Or if Clark were the nominee, then...well you get the point.
