"I prefer the valupak killing. It saves gas and reduces the amount of waste."

LOL! Don't forget virtues of econo-size destruction with a 10% bonus of mayhem.

Reminds me of Clear and Present Danger. Right before they were hit Abdul looks at Assam and says" The Americans are here."

Oink :)

I suspect some of the locals who have seen the utter brutality of Saddam's thugs are providing our guys with information

You have it. That's exactly what is happening. That is why these thugs have to keep the locals scared to death. As soon as they lose that power over them they are dead men.

"ABC won't report this attack unless it's confirmed by someone inside the building."

Then let me suggest that ABC put some reporters inside these kinds of meeting places as quickly as possible. I believe Peter Jennings would be ideal for the task...

I actually hope the worst do not surrender. We can then kill every last one of them.

[Mr. Lucky]

Good thinking. That way Canada could rightfully claim to have made a meaningful contribution to the war effort.

Peter Jennings embedded into a Fedayeen (or something)unit? Works for me.

Actually Cristine Amanpour (sp) gave a report from inside Basara the other night. Sounds like a gathering place she would be in the middle of.

ABC won't report this attack unless it's confirmed by someone inside the building.

"Mr. Secretary, we've had word that a Baath Party meeting was broken up over the weekend by two F-15E's. Are you concerned that this might be preceived as unfair?"
