There used to be a beer commercial where they were debating the relative merits of Ginger (Tina Louise) vs. Jeannie (Barbara Eden). The consensus seemed to be Jeanie although I must say Ginger is looking pretty good here.

Took my son to Lion's Club camp for the disabled this last Sunday. There was a young lady there that has a startling resemblance to Rhonda Fleming, except she smiled more, and she was between 18 and 20.
Has anyone else noticed how the older stars appear to be much more attractive than the younger ones - and live longer?

[News24.com] The Taliban publicly flogged and then executed a pregnant Afghan widow by emptying three shots into her head for alleged adultery, police said on Monday.
Bibi Sanubar, 35, was kept in captivity for three days before she was shot dead in a public trial on Sunday by a local Taliban commander in the Qadis district of the rural western province Badghis.
The Taliban accused Sanubar of having an "illicit affair" that left her pregnant. She was first punished with 200 lashes in public before being shot, deputy provincial police chief Ghulam Mohammad Sayeedi told AFP.

If the Taliwackers are sooooo bad, why do we get dick for help to drive them out?
I'm beginning to think those mooks deserve each other.

Until we go totally Mongol on these people, they will continue to follow the teachings of the "strong horse", even if it's the murderous, terrorizing Taliban. Bombing the entire Northwest Frontier Provinces back before the stone age would be a great first step. Whacking Karzai and putting someone other than a Pashtun in charge would be another.

I recall the Taliban blew up the Buddhist statues after they had been standing for centuries. The Taliban were complicit in 9/11. Recently, they shot up the medical mission.
I don't really think this war is going to end unless we pull out or go primitive on them. Winning the hearts and minds of these people is very questionable. During WWII the Japanese were fanatics. They said they would not surrender and they had no respect for anyone who did surrender. We got the message and basically decided to turn loose our forces. We burned them in the caves where they holed up. We took no prisoners. The choices are:
Pull out and leave them to themselves. That doesn't seem possible since they came here on 911. Scratch that alternative.
Win their hearts and minds. That doesn't seem to be working so scratch that.
Go primitive on them. Blow the $hit out of them and bring an end to this $hit. Otherwise we will pi$$ away our men and women and resources and this will go on for a hundred years. If we don't have any leaders with the stomach for this we should get someone.
[Ennahar] One soldier was killed and four others wounded in an ambush Saturday, August 7 at arround 4 pm by a group of armed terrorists in the town of Ait Chafaâ, located in the extreme northeast of the province of Tizi Ouzou, according to security sources in Azeffoun.

[Al Arabiya Latest] An Israeli photographer jailed by Libya for five months returned home Monday after an Austrian tycoon brokered a deal for his freedom that involved the delivery of 20 prefabricated homes from a Libyan charity to the Gaza Strip.
The agreement involved months of covert mediation between two countries that have no diplomatic ties and a long history of hostility. Israel's foreign minister praised the Libyans for their handling of the affair.
Rafael Rafram Chaddad, an Israeli-Tunisian dual national, disappeared in March in Libya, where he was photographing Jewish heritage sites on behalf of an organization that documents the history of Libya's vanished Jewish community.

Probably no bribes but some messages from Ghaddafi's son to the Israeli PM and head of the Shin Beth. Ghaddafi's son is trying to encourage Libyan Jews to come back to Libya and invest in businesses; but Libya has multiple undercurrents in its politics and the release of the prefabs makes good propaganda for the Libyans in the Arab world.
[Ma'an] Hezbollah's claim that Israel was behind the 2005 assassination of a former Lebanese prime minister reveals that the movement is deeply concerned it will be blamed for the murder, an Israeli official said Sunday.
"They are looking for a way out," an official in the Israeli Prime Minister's Office told The Jerusalem Post newspaper. "When they start casting for straws like this, it just shows the degree of pressure they are under."
"This is completely ridiculous and -- most importantly -- everyone knows it," the official added.

[Al Arabiya Latest] Hezbollah's chief on Monday unveiled footage allegedly intercepted from Israeli surveillance planes of the site of the 2005 murder of ex-Lebanese premier Rafiq Hariri prior to his assassination.
"Such footage generally comes as the first leg of the execution of an operation," the militant party's leader Hassan Nasrallah said in a news conference broadcast via video link.
Several clips, each minutes long and undated, showed aerial views of the coastline off mainly Sunni west Beirut on various days prior to the Hariri assassination.

Now this just takes the case. Some of the propaganda these guys come sup with is truly mind boggling.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
