Can you repost Helen's picture for the new folk? I have no idea how to do it. Thanks!
Land shark!!
Shalom.
He died in their custody......
heh heh
I'm sure CNN is in overdrive working on the women/children angle.
before or after the bombing...
Now saying one of Z's top aides has been caught with crucial information. SOps task force closed in on target and hit building where Z and others were located. Iraqi security forces got Zark, who did not die in the blast, but died of injuries. The Iraqi's kept him from blowing himself up. LOL
COOL!

Shep and Geraldo will have to fight this one out.
Oh jeez - please don't say there needs to be confirmation!!
Does anyone know when the Iraqi PM is going to announce it? Any minute, right?
"but he died in their custody."
Hopefully very slowly.
And hopefully of multiple stomp wounds to the head.
(I can dream, can't I?)
"I'll bet Helen Thomas is going to look like she sucked a lemon when she hears this."
She's so puckered now I can't tell which end is which!
I'm on J&B Scotch myself. Nice and smooth.
Feels good.
This has gotta be worth 5-10 points for the President, too.
Thanks! Like the old saying goes, payback's a b*tch.
I don't think you can tell the difference. Ugly is ugly no matter what's going on........
WOOO HOOOOO!!!!!
Shalom.

Well, I think it is soon going to hit EVERY single site. The PM, of Iraq, is supposed to make the announcement very soon.
