>"Most Surreal Moment — Watching Marines arrive at my detention

>exact. We had put the word out earlier in the day to the Marines in
>Fallujah that we were looking for Bad Guy X, who was described as a
>midget. Little did I know that Fallujah was home to a small community
>of midgets, who banded together for support since they were considered
>as social outcasts. The Marines were anxious to get back to the midget
>colony to bring in the rest of the midget suspects, but I called off
>the search, figuring Bad Guy X was long gone on his short legs after
>seeing his companions rounded up by the giant infidels."

>"Biggest Outrage — Practically anything said by talking heads on TV
>about the war in Iraq, not that I get to watch much TV. Their thoughts
>are consistently both grossly simplistic and politically slanted.
>Biggest Offender: Bill O'Reilly."

>"Best Chuck Norris Moment — 13 May. Bad Guys arrived at the government
>center in a small town to kidnap the mayor, since they have a problem
>with any form of government that does not include regular beheadings
>and women wearing burqahs. There were seven of them. As they brought
>the mayor out to put him in a pick-up truck to take him off to be
>beheaded (on video, as usual), one of the Bad Guys put down his
>machine gun so that he could tie the mayor's hands. The mayor took the
>opportunity to pick up the machine gun and drill five of the Bad Guys.
>The other two ran away. One of the dead Bad Guys was on our top twenty
>wanted list. Like they say, you can't fight City Hall."
