'Time Running Back In' for Iraq Disarmament

(2003-02-21) -- U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, who has repeatedly said "time is running out" for Saddam Hussein to disarm, said today that somehow "time has started running back in."

"We don't know if Saddam has developed some sort of time-warping technology," Mr. Powell said, "But our data clearly show that time has begun to run back in."

Government scientists examining the phenomenon surmise that the space-time continuum may have been breached, allowing Iraq additional time to disarm.

"It's a puzzler," said one unnamed chronologist. "Clearly things aren't supposed to work this way. Time either runs out, flies or seems to stand still. But it never runs back in. If we don't find a way to stop this, the U.N. Security Council will have to develop resolutions demanding action within specified negative-time frameworks. And we don't even know what that means."

New evidence shows that France's Secret Police (if you just said 'What secret police?', good for you!) is in on this 'conspiracy', and is helping Iraq with their genius science expertice

that explains why the doomsday clock has been stuck on one minute to midnight for 54 years.

When told of the development, Saddam Hussein exclaimed, "Mick Jagger Akbar! I've instructed mullahs to play 'Time is On My Side' from all Bagdad minarets each day at 8 and 5. By the grace of Allah, I'm sure we will be playing 'Under My Thumb' in another week or two as the time runs in."

As a former college physics major and all-'round quantum wonk alls I can say is that, I read this, I laughed my f%$@&g; ass off.

Saddam was loaned the "wayback" machine from his cartoon friends, Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman.

To France and European COLLABORATORS of Saddam;

Every Iraqi and Kurds has the right to be free (like the Europeans) from the dictatorship and tyranny of Saddam.

SHAMELESS France supports Saddam as a way to protect their oil contracts at the expense of every Iraqi and Kurds. France DEPLORAPLE business with Saddam are all in violation of the UN trade embargo and therefore illegal. DESPICABLE France must be tried as an ACCESSORY to all atrocities and genocide committed by Saddam to its own people-particularly the Kurds.


Bootlickers can show their CROCODILE concern by putting Saddam as the King of France and the President of Europe. ìVive Europe - Long live Der Fuhrer Saddamî.

Obviously, Saddam has successfully found a source to provide 1,000,0000 jig-a-wats of power. My sources have told me that the secret code was found by watching "Back to the Future', backwards for a period of 10 years. Notice a lot of the same cast of characters in this version of the Gulf conflict.

If You're Happy And You Know It Bomb Iraq - by John Robbins

If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq.
If the markets are a drama, bomb Iraq.
If the terrorists are frisky,
Pakistan is looking shifty
North Korea is too risky,
Bomb Iraq. >>>>>More
If we have no allies with us, bomb Iraq.
If we think that someone's dissed us, bomb Iraq
So to hell with the inspections,
Let's look tough for the elections,
Close your mind and take directions
Bomb Iraq.
It's pre-emptive non-aggression, bomb Iraq.
To prevent this mass destruction, bomb Iraq.
They've got weapons we can't see,
And that's all the proof we need,
If they're not there, they must be there,
Bomb Iraq.
If you never were elected, bomb Iraq.
If your mood is quite dejected, bomb Iraq.
If you think Saddam's gone mad,
With the weapons that he had,
And he tried to kill your dad,
Bomb Iraq.
If corporate fraud is growin', bomb Iraq.
If your ties to it are showin', bomb Iraq.
If your politics are sleazy,
And hiding that ain't easy,
And your manhood's getting queasy,
Bomb Iraq.
Fall in line and follow orders, bomb Iraq
For our might knows not our borders, bomb Iraq
Disagree? We'll call it treason
Let's make war not love this season
Even if we have no reason
Bomb Iraq

I'm sorry about all my other comments and poems I posted on these sites... Truth be known, I'm a rampant liberal homo who fully supports Saddam. My grandfather supported Hitler in the 1940's, so why shouldn't I support my hero, good old uncle Saddam. Wanna know something else? I hate Christians too. I am a Christian bashing, facist.

To Ylmas (a KURD)

Following the Gulf War George Bush Sr gave signals to the Kurds in the North and to the Marsh Arabs in the South that it would be a good time to revolt. All the signals were that the Allies would assist.

When the revolts happened, both the US and the UK turned a blind eye and left the rebels to the tender mercies of Saddam.

Dear John Robbins:
