  • In retrospect, I should have written "Basra Badgers," but Bagdad sounded better.
  • Pood badgers. It's not their fault, whatever happened :(
  • More from iraqslogger, including some youtubies of dead badgers.
  • Maybe honey badgers do not attack humans unless cornered, but they must one of the most ferocious and cantankerous creatures in existence - in a TV documentary about these clever honey thieves, we watched a honey badger confront a fully grown leopard, making the cat make a detour for no other apparant reason than that the badger demanded exclusive rights to that particular path! They look kind of cute when not irritated, but personally I too would be very disinclined to dispute the badgers right of way. Talk about looking (and sounding) ferocious!!! Gosh!!
  • UK military spokesman Major Mike Shearer said: "We can categorically state that we have not released man-eating badgers into the area."
    Major Mike has been building up to that statement all his career. It's just gotta be downhill from here.
  • Sounds more like chupacabra to me.
  • Someone call Brock Samson.
  • The Baghdad Badgers would be an awesome name for a sports team.
  • we have not released man-eating badgers into the area Ah, but he doesn't deny that man-eating badgers have been released. He doesn't deny that man-eating badgers are active in the area. He doesn't deny that the British army has man-eating badgers. He doesn't deny that they have released man-eating badgers into some areas. He doesn't deny that the British Army has released badgers into this area. He doesn't deny that man-eating badgers are operating in the area under British Army control. Weasel words.
  • You know, he's right.
  • The streets of Whitehall shall hear of this. /writes furiously
  • Better send a cc to Toad Hall, too.
  • Bad 'gers! Comin' atcha. I'm tellin' yous, we need to put one of these down Bush's pants.
  • That would be cruelty to animals.
  • And we don't need no stinkin' badgers, of course.
  • They're beautiful animals, and I admire them greatly. From a distance.
  • The unanswered question here is: Do they eat honey?
  • They do, even onto the point of death. But being from the badger state of Wisconsin, also note that it was only the mine tailings, or burrows, of old time lead miners that created our cognomen - even if we do like honey in a bulldog, badger-like fashion.
