A DARING ESCAPE
A French security agent held captive by insurgents in Somalia escaped last Wednesday, 26 August. Although Somali officials alleged that Marc Aubriere escaped by killing three of his captors, French Foreign Ministry officials initially had no comment and could not even confirm the hostage’s escape.
French security consultant Marc Aubriere told of how he sneaked past his Somali kidnappers while they slept then walked by night for five hours across Mogadishu, at one point coming under fire, according to RFI radio.
"On Tuesday, around midnight, I took advantage of my jailers falling asleep, tired out by Ramadan. I saw that my cell was badly closed and so I was able to make off without any violence," he said, according to a transcript provided by RFI. "In any case, if I'd fired a shot, other guards would have killed me. Then I walked through the night for almost five hours, guided by the stars to get to where I wanted to go," he said. "Mogadishu is deserted at night and the only men I saw were armed. I was shot at. I ran. I hid and by chance they missed me," he said.
An Islamist official in Somalia claimed that a ransom was paid for the freed hostage, but both the French government and the agent himself have denied that and insists he escaped through his own means.

A Marine Corps Military Working Dog recently passed away; please review this touching tribute to a true canine hero:

A beloved relative jolted me today with an offhand referral to having watched Teddy Kennedy's funeral.
- This, because it is hard for me to think of anyone who spent as much time and energy trying to destroy America as he did (you only came in second Jane Fonda). He made it his life's work to seemingly do the opposite of what reason and rationality would dictate was good for this country. I will not miss him in the least. Besides, now we have the First Comrade Obama to take up his cause which seemed to be "hate America first"...then do everything possible to destroy it.
Earlier today I read this somewhere, and still have not decided if it is Irish haiku or poetic justice, but it sums up my feelings on the matter pretty clearly:
Posterity will ne'er survey
A nobler grave than this

13 Great Things About Having a Small Penis
13. You have something to take the focus off your receding hairline.
12. It makes your otherwise-dainty hands look huge.
11. You get to have fun watching your sexual partner come up with creative compliments (God bless her) to make you feel better about your modest member, like "You're soooo hard!" "It grows so much!" and, worst of all, "It fits my vagina perfectly."
10. You can relate to women better because you more or less have a vagina.
9. Your son's penis envy will disappear by the time he hits 11.
8. Your balls look much more substantial.
7. You have a 14 percent better chance of talking your significant other into backdoor action.
6. You are marginally less likely to get your pecker caught in a wood mulcher. (It can happen!)
5. You can fit your entire chub in a $10 quarter roll and play a really awesome trick on a bank teller.
4. You have a perfect excuse to buy the new Ferrari 458 Italia, Rolex Yacht-Master II watch, or cigarette boat.
3. Smurf condoms only cost, like, 40 cents per pack.
2. Devoid of a false sense of entitlement, you will be motivated to develop an actual personality, a professional skill set, and the means to make a useful contribution to society.
1. You can write a best-selling memoir about your penis and make up with celebrity what you lack in length and girth!

NOTHING GOOD WILL COME OF THIS
Nice clenched-fist salute there, Seňor Presidente-for-Life - you remind me of someone: MUSSOLINI
Hugo Chavez will visit Iran in the first week of September.
According to Venezuelan ambassador to Iran David Velasquez, Chavez's September tour is in line with unity and commitment to world peace. Chavez will also tour Syria, Libya, Iran and Russia to discuss Iran-Venezuela projects and the adverse military situation in Latin America "created by the US".
"Chavez does not want nefarious forces to rule a society, whereas today West with its imperialist forces and Washington is a threat to the world."
Birds of a feather flock together. El Presidente's formal associations include the Russian military, Havana, the People’s Republic of China, Iran, and more recently North Korea, aka the hermit kingdom, the FARC and ELN of Colombia, European militant groups like the IRA (Irish Republican Army) and ETA (the Basque seperatist movement), and Islamic militant groups like Hezbollah and Hamas, and others.

STORMBRINGER SENDS...............
Some telling comments from Gadhafi's son today in the Glasgow Herald. He anticipates deals between Libya and London, Edinburgh; and he declares Megrahi is "an innocent man". Gadhafi himself states that the United States knew well in advance about Megrahi's release. This further backstops the indicators I covered on blog STORMBRINGER (23 August 2009) . that A) Megrahi's release was no surprise to London & the U.S., B) some kind of economic arrangement was agreed upon, and C) Libya was NOT responsible for the 1988 Lockerbie bombing; possibly Iran and/or Syria were. Politics makes strange bedfellows, that's for sure.
