Never trust an officer who carries a briefcase to the front.

You mean he wasn't in that hole 24/7? God Bless Our Troops! Now if there were bank acct numbers in that briefcase we can drain the swamp quicker.

Pray for W and Merry Christmas Troops

Or never trust the briefcase. Remember British major Meinertzgarden losing a briefcase before the battle of Beersheba in 1917. It contained documents showing a british attack north of the city, while the Australian Light Horse went south and east into the Sinai and came up from behind, and took the city in one of history's last cavalry charges.The scene was nicely displayed in the Ausiie film about the Light Horse.

Of course Meinertzgarden didn't let himself be captured by the Turks to cooroborate the intel. I don't think Saddam sacrificed himself to plant false info, but taking things with grains of salt, even in the desert, is a good precaution.

I take it you've never read any of W.E.B. Griffin's military books or served in the armed forces.

Never trust an officer who carries a briefcase to the front.

Never trust former Clinton administration officials.
