TORA BORA, AFGHANISTAN—An emaciated and heavily bandaged Osama bin Laden offered the U.S. a final chance to surrender Monday.


Above: Speaking via satellite, bin Laden issues a final warning to the U.S.
"Enemies of Allah, this is your last chance to leave Afghanistan alive," said a battered, soot-covered bin Laden in a videotaped statement broadcast on the Al Jazeera satellite network. "I mean it."

Staring directly into the camera with his good eye, bin Laden reiterated his vow to drive the U.S. from the country.

"You may have dozens of bases in Afghanistan. You may have thousands of bombs," bin Laden said. "But know this: We still have three or four guns and a full crate of bullets. And some knives, I think. You cannot hope to prevail."

A nearby goatherder then helped bin Laden brandish a rifle over his head.

"With every military advance you make, your forces become more spread out and weakened, while the Taliban's become more concentrated in an increasingly small space," bin Laden said. "You are practicing the mathematics of defeat. Give up now."

The videotape was accompanied by a written statement that explicitly laid out the Taliban's instructions for surrender.


Above: A Taliban soldier prepares to attack the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit.
"Men of the armies of Pakistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan; Americans of the 101st Airborne, 10th Mountain Division, 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit, 4th Special Operations Group, 8th Army Mechanized Battalion, SEAL Teams Four, Six, and Nine, and the Aircraft Carrier U.S.S. Carl Vinson... you are hereby required to report to the smoldering remains of our air base southeast of Kandahar," the statement read. "Turn your weapons over to Kamal and Azir, these two guys who should still be there. Kamal will be the one with the bad limp. After you have been processed by them and your surrender has been accepted, you will be released and sent home as soon as possible. Please, do not throw away any more lives in this useless struggle. Please."

"The noose is tightening," said Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar, gnawing on a dead horse's hoof. "With every Taliban soldier you capture or kill, your selection of enemies grows more limited. Our remaining soldiers, on the other hand, enjoy a virtually limitless array of Allied soldiers to shoot. Before long, it will be virtually impossible for you to find someone to engage on the field of battle. Then, victory will be ours."

Omar then closed his eyes and began to rock slowly back and forth.

According to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, American military leaders are having difficulty locating the few remaining pockets of Taliban personnel, hindering U.S. efforts to force a surrender.

"We are carefully analyzing bin Laden's videotaped message for any possible clues to his whereabouts," Rumsfeld said. "By analyzing the background vegetation and rock formations, the length and position of the shadows, and other subtle clues, we may be able to determine the location of the Taliban's temporary headquarters and send in a strike force for around-the-clock shelling."

"It's not yet clear where bin Laden was," Rumsfeld added, "but he seemed to be speaking from some sort of gigantic, bombed-out litter box."

Asked if he had considered or listened to the content of bin Laden's message, Rumsfeld said, "Why, no."

friday's funnies...rolling on the floor...thanks JB...

A construction worker goes to the doctor and says, "Doc, I'm constipated." The doctor examines him for a minute and then says, "Lean over the table." The construction worker leans over the table, the doctor whacks him on the ass with a baseball bat, CRACK... and then sends him into the bathroom. He comes out a few minutes later and says, "Doc, I feel great. What should I do to prevent constipation in the future?" The doctor says, "Stop wiping with cement bags!"

others from passing.

Rule No. 2: Always park on the lines, taking up as many spots as
possible. Diagonal parking is preferred.

Rule No. 3: In a crowded parking lot, if you find a spot and have the
opportunity to pull through to an adjacent one, drive up halfway and
stop on the line, taking both.

Rule No. 4: As you pull into a spot, if you see that the space ahead
of you is empty and you see another driver signaling to take it, pull
though and take it from him.

Rule No. 5: Always park close enough to the adjacent car so that the
other driver must grease up with Vaseline to squeeze into his or her
car.

Rule No. 6: When getting out of your car, hit the adjacent vehicle
with your door really hard.

Rule No. 7: When driving through the parking lot, ignore the painted
lanes and drive diagonally from one end to another at a high rate of
speed.

Rule No. 8: When stopped in front of a store and waiting for a
friend/relative to make a purchase, make sure that you are stopped in
the middle of the road. The same rule applies to picking up and
discharging passengers.

Rule No. 9: When a vehicle from the opposite direction is signaling
and waiting for a parking space, position your car so that you are in
his way and let the car behind you take it.

Rule No. 10: If you have handicapped license plates, use up a regular
parking spot.

Rule No. 11: If you hit the adjacent car with your door and leave a
dent, wait for a car, which is painted the same color as yours, to
drive down the aisle looking for a place to park. Then back out,
giving up your spot like "Mr. Good Guy," and park somewhere else.

Rule No. 12: If the vehicle in front of you stops to let a pedestrian
cross or another vehicle turn, pull into the lane of opposite traffic
and attempt to pass him.

Rule No. 13: When exiting a shopping center into a busy road, exit
through the narrow "ENTER ONLY" driveway, stick the nose of the car into
traffic, and wait.

Rule No. 14: When driving through a parking lot with alternating
one-way aisles and angled parking spots, drive the wrong way. Then when

into it.

Rule No. 15: Always leave your shopping cart behind or tightly
between parked vehicles.

parking lot, leave the soiled diaper under the car next to you.

and eat your lunch. Feel free to go through your shopping bags and
look at what you just bought.

Rule No. 19: When pulling into a parking spot, if there is a shopping
cart in the way, lightly tap it with your bumper and send it rolling
into another car. Then, when you step out, if the cart is still too
close, push it down the parking lot aisle and let it go. While the
cart is flying solo, turn around and walk toward the stores.

Rule No. 20: When walking back to your car in a busy shopping center,
gesture to other drivers waiting for a spot to make them think that you
are getting in the car and leaving. Then walk between the cars to the
next aisle and do it again.

Rule No. 21: When shopping at the mall, which requires you to load your
bags into the car and go back in to do more shopping, do NOT tell the
driver who is sitting patiently watching you load your car and signaling
for your spot.

Rule No. 22: When walking back to your car, if you notice other
shoppers walking past your car to get to theirs, press the buttons on
your key chain remote so that your car's alarm makes a sudden loud
"BLOOP BLEEP" that scares the crap out of them.

Rule No. 23: If you don't see a speed limit sign posted in the mall's
parking lot, there isn't any!

Rule No. 24: If you back into a parked car, and the driver isn't with
it, take out a piece of paper and start writing. This is especially
effective if there are 15-20 witnesses. On a piece of paper write,
"There were ___ witnesses when I hit your car. They think I'm writing my name, address, and phone number."

The doctor and his wife were having a heated argument at
breakfast. As he stormed out of the house, the man angrily
yelled to his wife, "You aren't that good in bed either!" By
midmorning, he decided he'd better make amends and called
home. After many rings, his wife, clearly out of breath,
answered the phone. "What took you so long to answer and why
are you panting?"

"I was in bed."

"What in the world are you doing in bed at this hour?"

"Getting a second opinion".

happy holidays...
good fortune...
