To add insult to the DOD injury, an analysis by the Israeli military determined that the patriot missiles actually made things worse. <BR/><BR/>It would appear that bragging about kills with video footage may not be the brightest thing to do.<BR/><BR/>Insert foot in mouth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27644679.post-48598685320276461832009-01-02T05:19:00.000-06:002009-01-02T05:19:00.000-06:00O'Reilley is a tool.Inskeep is a fool.O'Reilley is a tool.<BR/><BR/>Inskeep is a fool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27644679.post-79229695574103437512009-01-01T21:31:00.000-06:002009-01-01T21:31:00.000-06:00I don't think Inskeep is a fool.
