what a joke

weve had dolphins and tropical fish inside the dutch rivers too, lost and looking for food

I don't know why someone doesn't just Nuke the entire middle east and get it done with.

He's lucky - I got a whale in the back yard - and it's Bush's fault.

It might be a clue to get a shrink to check the Middle East fetish and get the dumb US "nuke" syndrome cured - and stay the fuck out of other people's countries??? Just a thought....

What's even worse is this...

"Dr. Mohamed Ajah, assistant dean of the college of science at Thi Qar University in Nassiriya"


Fucking idiots..

Umm hello, so he claims someone "had" to have put it there. So even though any moron knows not too many people are going to catch a live shark and toss it in a river. As it simply defies logic and commonsense.

So it "must" have been the Americans.. fucking idiots. Why don't he blame the Iranians? Or the Insurgents. I think I saw a memo last week stating the al Qaeda were planning attacks using sharks. I think it was al Qaeda...

The sad part is a fucking science teacher is claiming this BS. Just goes to show what we are dealing with and why we should have never been there. Next it will be meteors are coming from Americans on the moon playing golf.

lol we are importing sharks/

ummm yea I guess Saddam stayed out of others countries, now didn't he. I don't support this war. However, I sure hope you remember the reason we went there in the first place because Saddam invaded Kuwait.

you are kidding, right ?

BTW crockett - the above doc - Dr. Mohamed Ajah did not make any claims about "Americans" - he said:

"Dr. Mohamed Ajah, assistant dean of the college of science at Thi Qar University in Nassiriya, said barriers in river estuaries usually prevented sharks swimming upstream.

"In this case, I think this animal was there for a long time but no one had managed to see it," he said."

It was a fisherman, Hatim Karim, who made claims in the story. Sounds no different to any fisherman - they all exaggerate :winkwink:

Yea, Hussein did invade other countries - one in particular with US help and the other where he was given a nod by the US Embassy. It really has nothing to do with Hussein, has it?

As to why there was a second invasion, that's anyone's guess - it was this reason, that reason, the other reason. Hardly worth trying to analyize the brain of the imbecile who initiated the current adventure....

Yes I grabbed the wrong quote..

I meant to grab this one..

"Tahseen Ali, a teacher, said there was a "75 percent chance" Americans had put the shark in the water."

Yea your right it must have been the Iranians whom invaded Kuwait in 1990.. Poor Saddam he was just a patsy. Maybe you were still in grade school and don't remember..

you are one stupid bastard :1orglaugh :321GFY

thats a better story than jaws 4

We haven't found a way to store radioactive oil yet that is safe.

Are you fucking kidding me!?

Must've been Iran! :1orglaugh

He was not accurate.

There was only a 74.8765398 percent chance.

You mean Bill Clinton right?

We had operation Desert Storm under Bush the first because of the invasion of Kuwait dude. Remember? It made all the papers. Bush 1 specifically did NOT go to Baghdad and depose Sadam because he said it would be illegal under international law! Who is it thats forgetful?

Also, Sadam gassed the kurds before that. It was either 1986 or 1988. So thats also a manufactured reason for us to be in Iraq right now.

We're there now because the neo-cons have had a hard-on for war and it's defense and energy related profits for decades. When the idea was introduced to REAGAN, he laughed them out of the office.

As always, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts.

As far as the shark, yikes thats fucked up.

shark meat yummm

Bush did it!

UNLESS that is a SALT water River, which I dont think it is, there is ONLY ONE way that shark got there, and survived. And thats over TIME!!!! A LONG FREAKING TIME.

You can not throw a shark into fresh water and expect it to live. they have to migrate that was from where the salt and fresh water mix and it takes time.

sure dit ... after all, didn't he say :

" .. I know that fish and men can co-habitate ... " .... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I had forgotten that.


What a goof.

whadda mean? they just talked to him about sharks being in the area, he never said anything about americans putting it there

I guess Iraq hasn't yet clued in to the little two word phrase that most of the rest of the world already uses regularly in such instances...


"Blame Canada"

why would anyone be paranoid in Iraq ...

This is just a ridiculous comment:321GFY:321GFY:321GFY

read the full post.. you will see I grabbed the wrong quote by mistake. Yea can't edit posts after a few mins here. So I corrected it a few posts down.

As for the Sharks.. they are nothing.. those Iraqi's are lucky we didn't send in the Dolphins with laser beams.

Haven't you heard? They have a shark problem.

:thumbsup

there are several types of fresh water sharks in the world... I dont know why the big deal about having one in Iraq. Although, yes, probably Bush did it!
New extermination plan: get the soldiers out of Iraq, let the sharks deal with them

Clinton was not the first person who came to mind :winkwink: Can't remember him ordering forces into Iraq - on the first or second time, but - maybe Hillary will have her chance at another "war" if she is on the US destruction bandwagon - hope not :)

Pity this thread started about a fisherman's fantasies and as a joke in Reteurs, but was actually taken seriously and ended up with stupidity about nuking people and US politics. Maybe one day :thumbsup

Which one of you Americans is responsible for those two whales that swam up river in Cali a few months back?

:1orglaugh

Frickin sharks with frickin lazers on their heads...priceless

Everything else gets blamed on the US, why not add one more thing to the list?

watch out for that guy he might be goin for the 80 virgin thing too

he invaded kuwait cos they had an oil drill going sideways into iraq
