How do you think the OTHER (originally 29, now fancy accounting upped
it to 39) countries in the coalition think about the reporting of
THEIR roll?  :-)  How many people do you think can name as many as
FIVE of the other 39 countries?

But the most ridiculous of all bias-reporting in an attempt to make
Saddam look bad was the theory that the picture of Saddam reading a
text on TV was not Saddam (rumored injured) because he was wearing
glasses.

How many here know what Strike looks like when he reads something??
:-))))))))))))))))

That's only second to demanding Saddam leave his own country when
he got 100% of the votes to presidency (as opposed to only 99%+ in
previous years).  :-)  Can any of you imagine Saddam demanding
Bush to leave the USA because he won the Presidency even without
winning the Popular votes?

As I said, the only redeeming value of this "war", or any "war", is
the cheaper travel deals I can get while others are killing each
other.  As for the killing and be killed, I suppose it's THEIR
'bitness' to me as divers kill themselves <ob scuba>.

Have a hoss-piss or three on me, when you meet with Tricky.  :-))
