I am convinced more and more.... when we see the Info and Def ministers we are looking at the Iraqi leadership..

The latest video didn't convince you? I'm shocked. SHOCKED, I tell 'ya.

....Assad said he thinks he is next .....

He has to go to the end of the line behind Osama, Kim Jong Il, and the Iatola.

Yep, that's the one!! Okay, how could our troops respect that as CIC?? Thank God for GWB!

"I am betting those "Syrians" killed on that bus were on the way to fight!"

I read somewhere, can't recall where, that these were actually the first group of 'palestinian volunteers' headed to Iraq to fight the 'Great Satan'.

What's more, their military is in a shambles and they are coming to the realization that using chemical weapons would hurt them more than it hurts us. It's over and they are waking up to it.

Now comes the silly season.

Given the advances we are making, at what point do we start referring to Saddam Hussein as the Mayor of Baghdad rather than the President of Iraq?

The late Charles Lichtenstein from 1983: We will put no impediment in your way. The members of the US mission to the United Nations will be down at the dockside waving you a fond farewell as you sail off into the sunset.

He had the UN's number twenty years ago.
