I’m Finland!
You scored as Finland. Your army is the army of Finland. You prefer to win your enemy by your wit rather than superior weapons. Enemy will have a hard time against your small but effective force.

Inspired by Boots & Sabers, here’s a quiz for you:
What is the name of the place shown above? Comment below, answer hint tomorrow.
Here’s the hint:
Answer tomorrow.
Update: Dad gets it, but cheats. It is Big and Little Round Top, two miles south of Gettysburg, PA. You might have heard of the place. To quote Ken Burns, it is the place where Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain led “an unlikely textbook maneuver that saved the Union Army, and quite possibly, the Union itself.”
And it’s barely four hours away from where I live.
Presented for your mocking enjoyment.
I wonder what the power requirements are for this device.
There are two things that are good about the new Middle East “peace” deal, and only two: one, Hezbollah had their @$$3$ handed to them by the Israelis, which means they will not be starting the shooting again for a while – at least until Iran rearms them. Second, the world’s focus can now shift back to Iran and their clear intent to eradicate Israel, particularly with nukes.
That’s the only good to come out of it.
Israel got screwed, royally. They decided (by accepting the deal) to lay down their arms for nothing but an empty promise that Hezbollah will do the same. Where is the good in that?
And the situation with Iran will not be resolved easily, either. If the Bush administration is looking to use the UN to deal with them, something is dreadfully wrong at the White House, and the errors in judgement will be quickly exposed when Iran ignores any UN resolutions and Hezbollah starts the shooting again – which will likely be around the same time.
Does anyone else have the Star Wars type of Bad Feeling About This that I do?
Back the truck up. According to Fox News, Crazy Mahmoud has a blog?!? Language bar is under the title image, on the right. English is the second from the left.
Oh Almighty God, please, we beg you to send us our Guardian- who You have promised us- soon and appoint us as His close companions
Yeah, we’re dealing with a guy with a full deck here.
So I wake up this morning and open my blogroll for my news feed. There’s the normal stuff at the likes of Blackfive and Castle Aarrgh!, so I think nothing is amiss. Then Drudge comes up. Apparently, the Brits foiled a plot by the terrorists to blow up several planes in midair over the Atlantic. Good morning!
At least Lileks had a good birthday.
Reuters: We’re at red alert for inbound flights from the UK, and orange everywhere else. This exposes a flaw in the alert system – we’ve only had to implement it piecemeal, raising it in parts while the rest of the country stays normal. How can we revise it to send out more accurate news than what is currently implemented? For example, my little alerter says we’re still at yellow, but we’re not, at least not wholly. How do we fix this?
Two U.S. counterterrorism officials said the terrorists had targeted United Airlines, American Airlines and Continental Airlines.
Why do they continue to target United and American? Is it just because their names are so like the US, or is it because they are seen as more vulnerable than others?
Romney to activate National Guard for Logan Airport. There he goes, building his Presidential credentials for 2008. He’ll need them, as President Bush’s policies have prevented him from getting the experience Rudy Giuliani has.
Homeland Security Secretary Chertoff: Leave the liquids, hairgels, and lotions behind. This gives an indication of how they planned to trigger the bombs.
If this whole thing sounds familiar, you’ve been paying attention to the news. Oplan Bojinka was a similar plan, foiled in 1995. This indicates that terrorists are willing to try anything more than once, which (from their perspective) makes sense, if they feel they can pull it off.
Finally, to close, a few choice quotes apt for the news:
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. (can’t remember who said it, too lazy to go find out)
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. – George Orwell
Well, given his front page today, its not so secret, is it? Here’s a screen capture, in case he takes flak for the tasteless caption+picture gay bait he put up and has to take it down.
How can any self-respecting homosexual support this man, his politics, or his endorsements?
From Breitbart (emphasis added):
“As I see it, in this campaign we just finished the first half and the Lamont team is ahead. But, in the second half, our team, Team Connecticut, is going to surge forward to victory in November,” Lieberman said after congratulating Lamont.
That’s just begging for a Team America: World Police photoshop, isn’t it?
