The French cards bestow that honour not on US President George W Bush but on Rumsfeld. Under his mugshot, he is accused of using the September 11 attacks "to increase military budgets and plan an army in space that could completely dominate Earth".
Hah, what a laughable claim!
Or so we thought...
Today I stumbled across this article about the new U.S. air force uniforms. It's rather boring but...
quote:
Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. John P. Jumper:
We (also) need to ensure our airmen have a uniform that fulfills our unique air and space missions.
Interesting how it all comes together...

That's a joke, right?
Jeebus, do I really need a humor-disclaimer?
Consider yourself to be disclaimed. 
Hey, you've no idea how much stupid shit I hear regarding the military. Read an article yesterday how the French conspiracy theory that the US government staged the September 11th attacks is gaining much press and acceptance in Germany, for example. How any knucklehead could believe that shit is beyond me. . .but there seem to be plenty, heretofore only among the disaffected French who can't seem to realize they haven't done anything interesting since Napoleon, and he lost.
I give you more credit than that, though, so I asked.

JooJooFlop startled the peaceful upland Gorillas by blurting:
To me it seems that the people over there who could believe the Sept. 11 attacks were done by our government are the same type of people as the ones over here who could believe the Holocaust wasn't real. Just a byproduct of misinformation, a little wishful thinking and a lot of water seperating one from the incident.
And a lot of telling themselves they're not a has-been empire with no real value in today's world, fueled by envy of real world powers.

Wait.. what? Are you talking about Germany? Or did I miss something?
They're the largest economy in Europe. :/

Recalling the "tiger-stripe" camouflage pattern used during the Vietnam War, but with the distinctive Air Force logo embedded into a color scheme that preliminary testing indicates may provide better camouflage
I thought they got rid of the tiger stripe scheme cause it didn't work well, Not to mention the coloring. I wonder if this was thought up by the same genius that thought the OD green CDU's the Seabees wear would be good to use in Desert Storm/Shield. I remember the Joke was "If we all huddle together maybe they will think we are an Oasis"
Hay Bloodsage, what is your take on the new CDU's since you might have to be wearing them one day? [ 10-01-2003: Message edited by: Peter ]

Actually, I was referring to France, where most of the bullshit conspiracy theories originated.

A wide ass guess would be missle defense.
The truth, however, is that the idea of parachuting from near-space isn't new. There was an article in PopSci a while back about a guy who's trying to work out the logistics of it to win a world's record in parachuting or something. It's hardly something frightening.

I assume they really need that new uniform, looking at surveillance screens.
