I don't think they've got what it takes to move into the top three.

[Diomedes]

Traitor.

[General_Failure]

Rat on a sinking ship. My ticket is booked for 11/14.

[Diomedes]

Final count for October '06 looks to be 105.  That means it was the fourth most deadly to date, only two deaths behind the third most deadly.

Meanwhile, in two days of November, 8 have been killed.  Odds on November challenging for top five?

RUMSFELD TO STEP DOWN

Ding dong, the witch is dead!

Holy shtein! Great news.

[Diomedes]

Bob Gates, ex-CIA director will reportedly replace Rummy...

There's room for two in that cell.

"There's room for two on that hanging platform"

Rumsfeld is a shining example of the arrogance and incompetence of the Bush Administration.

Good riddance you steaming pile of horseshtein.

[Diomedes]

Gates was one of the Iran-Contra crooks who got off scot free.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

...and yet can he possibly NOT be an improvement over Rumsfeld?

[Phanatic]

Gates was one of the Iran-Contra crooks who got off scot free.

So we've traded one corrupt ass bag for another? Shocking!
