What's with the flag? I'm kind of surprised to see it included in the set. Well, at least with the third hand from the left you could pose the action figure with his hand over his heart.

Castro sold out Che? LOL! I love it when commies turn on each other.

"Benigno: "Fidel Castro betrayed che Guevara following orders from the Soviet Union"
Jan. 25 - Daniel Alarcón Ramírez, a Cuban guerrilla fighter who went to Bolivia with Argentine mercenary che Guevara to begin a guerrilla war, told the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera that Cuban dictator Fidel Castro betrayed Guevara following orders from Moscow.
Alarcón Ramírez, who was known as "Benigno," told the newspaper in an interview published on Sunday, that Moscow considered Guevara "a very dangerous personality for its imperialist strategies."
Benigno, who was one of only three guerrillas who were able to escape from Bolivia and traveled to Chile with the help of then Chilean president Salvador Allende, accused Moscow and its Cuban puppet Fidel Castro for the death of Guevara.
According to Benigno, Castro followed the orders from Moscow to eliminate Guevara because Cuba needed the aid that it was receiving from the URSS in order to survive.
He told the newspaper that the plan was to "export the revolution" but that Castro abandoned them in the Bolivian jungle. "Che went to his death knowing that Castro had betrayed him," he said.
Benigno also said that he was with Guevara in the Congo when they heard Castro on the radio reading an alleged letter from che in which he resigned his Cuban nationality and all his posts in the government. "Che began to kick the radio when he heard that, while yelling 'look where he is taking the personality cult.'"
Che was born in Argentina, but he was allowed to become a Cuban citizen after Castro came to power.
When they left the Congo and went back to Cuba, Castro asked them to go to Bolivia and assured them of the support of the communists, secret agents and additional reinforcements, but when they arrived in the Bolivian jungle they found out that the Bolivian Communist Party refused to support them, following orders from Moscow.
Benigno, who is now 70 years old, has been living in Paris since 1996.
Fidel Castro not only betrayed his comrade, but has now turned him into his own "Mickey Mouse," making millions of dollars exploiting his name. Tourists who go to Cuba can buy anything with Guevara's face on it, from t-shirts to watches.

Where Have All the Somalis Gone?
Another story getting little play in the very news-selective mainstream media is the mysterious disappearances of dozens of young immigrants from Somalia who had been living in the Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota area. CNN, Newsweek and the LA Times have finally seen fit to cover the two month old story: http://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/2008/11/26/holy-cow-now-40-young-somalis-are-missing-in-minnesota/
The story hit (some) wires in late November, most notably on the Fox News Channel, that up to 40 Somalis have simply upped and disappeared without even a fond adieu even to their parents. One, a naturalized United States citizen, reappeared as a suicide bomber in Somalia.
Not mentioned in any of the stories that I have seen is the possibility that at least some are not journeying back home, a long and expensive trip for the mostly impoverished Somalis, but are being trained here and in their other adoptive nations for domestic jihad, or struggle mandated by the Qur’an and Allah.
The fear of the conventional wisdom is that they are being recruited to participate in jihad in their native Somalia which is torn by upheavals between what government there is in that country and Islamic insurgents bent on establishing an Islamic state there: http://www.defenddemocracy.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=11783918&Itemid=0.
That story goes further, referring to reports that similar disappearances are occurring worldwide where Somalis have gone to seek a better life, in Europe, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, and Saudi Arabia.
Sorry, but I can’t work up much fear that all headed back to blow themselves up in Somalia after being accorded the privilege of living in America or elsewhere where their lot in life had to have been a vast improvement, no doubt subsidized by Americans, Europeans, et al.
Muhammed Atta and his band of merry murderers may not have been Somalis but they were Islamic jihadists. Could the next 9/11 be in the planning stage and will the ranks of the next wave of terrorism here be supplemented by Somali recruits?
The FBI is said to be on the case but the FBI also knew in advance about Atta.

Is that a dacron suit on the teflon jesus? Does the set come with a faux wooden cross so we can do a proper crusifixion at the end of his term? Those ties look a bit like nooses (noos'?). What's with the plug and play hands?

Girls Basketball Coach Fired After 100-0 Win
"DALLAS — The coach of a Texas high school basketball team that
beat another team 100-0 was fired Sunday, the same day he sent an e-mail to
a newspaper saying he will not apologize 'for a wide-margin victory when my
girls played with honor and integrity.'"
Perhaps I'm being naive, but shouldn't the other team be firing their coach instead?
I don't generally let people in my Brazilian jiu jitsu class break my arm or choke me unconscious when I'm winning a match just so I don't hurt my opponent's feelings. Then again, I'm guessing there are fewer libs that follow jiu jitsu than basketball.

The "Flag" mentioned before is not actually the American flag, although it appears to be. It is the Obamanists 57 star flag, hence the hand over the heart gesture (you don't really think this socialist piece of crap would salute the real flag do you!?). The rest is just liberal over-the-edge dream world bullshit. The children MUST have their toys. I, however, do think they would make excellent targets!
