Questions on my mind

Question: President Bush is currently visiting Israel, snarling up traffic in all directions. He came with an entourage of dozens of cars, trucks, jeeps, and 6 helicopters. How did all this stuff get here?

Answer: Galaxy C-5 transport planes landed at Ben-Gurion airport last week. Here's are some pictures of what this massive plane looks like.






Hah. They call this a landing. Crosswinds? El-Al pilots laugh at cross winds...



Question: Where was yesterday's rocket attack in Ashkelon launched from?

Answer: The remains of Dugit -- A settlement destroyed and evacuated during the Disengagement, 8.08 miles (as the missile flies) from the Shopping Mall in Ashkelon.

  1. My wife wanted to know what he needed such a big supply truck for, for his 3 day trip to Israel.

    I told her tuna fish and toilet paper.

  4. The frontal pic of that humongous flying cruise ship looks a little comic, really, just a few eyelashes over those tiny windows, and a smirk on one side, and it's a cartoon!

    JoeSettler, I think you may be right! I'm sure he doesn't trust anyone's food. Plus he brought along a few xtra wardrobe changes for his Mrs Bush.

  5. neshama: he should have had Mrs. Bush arrive in an outfit that fit her and didn't totally wash out her face!

    And don't tell me you're surprised that the ruins of Dugit is a launch site. It was only a matter of time.
