Excellent captions, I was surprised it took so long for someone to come up with the take off on the Target Dog. I am pandering a bit with the list of honorable mentions, but this contest just seemed to bring out a funny vein in many of the commentors.
The Winners
Ne Plus Ultra:RightWingDuck - Unfortunately, the tryouts for the new Target Dog Mascot turned out quite differently than expected.
Second:Harry - Tank Commander Ralph Watkins winces as he realizes he has unwittingly let loose the dog of war.
Third: LJD - “I think heâs gettinâ ready to leave a road-side bomb!”
Myopist - Swear to God, if it cocks a leg Iâm shooting it. I spent four hours washing this tank.
Dougrc - Reminiscent of the 1989 Tianenmen Square incident, Fluffy stood her ground for half an hour before slowly backing out of the way of the advancing tanks.
Rachel Edith - President Bush made that surprise visit to the troops last week. Scheduling glitches resulted in presidential dog, Barney, being left behind in a fox hole. Barney emerged today none the worse for wear. After de-briefing in Germany, the dog will be reunited with the Commander-in-Chief.
Roark - Hold Fire! …Itâs not a FRENCH poodle.
The Thursday contest has already started.

Some very good entries for what I thought to be a harder picture. The top three were very close, but I have to concur with opinions of several of the commentors.
Baron - The Great Ali Al Swalhiri shows off his first magic trick. Shortly after, he was blown up by Islamic extremists insisting that magic is not consistent with the Koran, therefore he and the 13 innocent people around him deserved to die.

“Spock! Balls?!”
“Yes, Captain. If I was to mention the proper medical term, we might get sued by the FCC.”

Woohoo! 2nd!
Ever since I became a regular poster over at Wizbang, I've felt self-conscious about entering the contests there. (Well, that and the sheer quality and quantity of the entries that show up before I can even SEE the picture have intimidated the hell out of me.) But it's nice to know I still got it. Thanks, Rodney!
I was wondering why I hadn't seen more captions from you lately. I thought you were just to busy being the blogosphere version of Garrison Keillor. Your narratives of Cow Hampshire seem to have become popular.

Chrees - You’d be a “mad cow” too if you had to take public transportation all the time.
