Can you say “Gulf of Tonkin”?
AMMAN (Reuters) - Three rockets were fired at two U.S. Navy ships in Jordan’s Aqaba port on Friday, but they missed their targets and hit a warehouse and a hospital, killing a Jordanian soldier, and striking the Israeli port of Eilat.
A Jordanian security source said authorities were searching for three men in the Katyusha missile attack, which was launched from an industrial warehouse area near the entrance to the city.
“We are searching for a Syrian and two Iraqis who are in Aqaba and used Kuwaiti number plates,” the source said.
And don’t I wish we had the kind of administration where I didn’t have to think like this?






Don’t they mean a Syrian, an Iranian and a North Korean?
Anonymous sources at the New York Times now indicate it was actually a Venezuelan, an Iranian and a ‘close personal friend’ of Mrs. Cindy Sheehan.
They drove off in a Prius with Kuwaiti plates and a bumper sticker that said Save The Whales.
If we don’t fight the terrorists in Iraq we’ll have to fight them here at home. Look, look! They’ve already gotten as far as Jordan!
I think it was three Brazilian guys in heavily padded jackets who had jumped the turnstile.
Or maybe it was Howard Dean, Molly Ivins, and Noam Chomsjy.
Not many details on this
Three rockets fired at U.S. ships in Jordan It’s all Bush’s fault. Before we unilaterally invaded Iraq no one would have ever thought of attacking US Navy ships in Middle Eastern ports. Anyway, if these really were Katyusha-type rockets, it’s…
I’ll bet Chelsea Clinton was in there somewhere, too!
Dude,
“And don’t I wish we had the kind of administration where I didn’t have to think like this?”
The reason why you are thinking like that is that you are off your meds again. Take the blue and yellow pill, and soon you’ll realize that reality, while at times troubling, is better than delusions and paranoia. All the best with treatment…
