The wrong end of a Tequila bottle.
This is a clip I received from a buddy. It lacks political correctness, but really made me laugh.

-General "Black Jack" Pershing was born September 13th, 1860
near Laclede, MS, he died July 15th, 1948 in Washington,D.C.

Highlights of his life include:

1891 Professor of Military Science and Tactics University of Nebraska
1898 Serves in the Spanish-American War
1901 Awarded rank of Captain
1906 Promoted to rank of Brigadier General
1909 Military Governor of Moro Province, Philippines
1916 Made Major General
1919 Promoted to General of the Armies
1921 Appointed Chief of Staff
1924 Retires from active duty Education West Point.

Just before World War I, there were a number of terrorist attacks on
the United States forces in the Philippines by Muslim extremists. So
General Pershing captured 50 terrorists and had them tied to posts for
execution. He then had his men bring in two pigs and slaughter them

in front of the, now horrified, terrorists.

Muslims detest pork because they believe pigs are filthy animals.
Some of them simply refuse to eat it, while others won't even touch pigs
at all, nor any of their by-products. To them, eating or touching a pig,
its
meat, its blood, etc., is to be instantly barred from paradise (and those
virgins)
and doomed to hell.

The soldiers then soaked their bullets in the pigs blood, and proceeded to
execute 49 of the terrorists by firing squad. The soldiers then dug a big
hole, dumped in the terrorist's bodies and covered them in pig blood,
entrails, etc.

They let the 50th man go. And for the next forty-two years, there was not
a single Muslim extremist attack anywhere in the world.

Maybe it is time for this segment of history to repeat itself, maybe
in Iraq? The question is, where do we find another Black Jack Pershing?

I just happened to catch Winston Churchhill's grandson speaking on FOX NEWS and he said his grandfather always referred to WWII as the Unecessary War because he felt that the world leaders of that time (England, US, and France) could have removed him from power without fighting a war. But all the nations wanted to appease Hitler just like many leaders are doing today with Sadaam. His point was to sit back and just do nothing would be a terrible mistake over time.

Funny..... you think after being through two world wars Europe would want to nip this in the bud before it gets worse.

Yes, there will be colateral damage during this war, but in the end the Iraqi people will be better off, The middle east will be better off, The whole damn world will be better off!
