By the time you read this, Tariq Aziz and the last five Ba'athists in Baghdad may be holed up in Fisk's Ba'athroom, and he'll be hailing the genius of their plan to lure the Americans to their doom by leaving his loo rolls on the stairwell for the Marines to slip on.

Funniest Mark Steyn quote of the new millenium. This one is gonna be a classic. Good enough for a SNL skit.

Should be required reading for all the doom-n-gloom "I've got a bad feeling about this"... "There has to be a trap" whiners running around this place...

A loo is the brit term for bathroom, thus "loo rolls" are toilet paper rolls.

I get the feeling sometimes that 'Mark Steyn' is the name of an expansive, erudite think tank.

Good one, Petronski. More probably, a one-man think tank.

....look at the dogs of war that didn't bark....

Excellant phrase.

He failed to connect one set of dots. There were many opportunities for infastructure destruction that were missed. Bridges, the oil terminal, the oil fields and refineries, channel mines, the various air ports, on and on and on.

Perhaps there was death in the bunker, but I suspect there was massive money under the table. The CIA has been spending Jessee Jacksons welfare on Generals and Colonels who will form the new Iraqui army. It will be shown that this has been in process for several months and was a complete sucess. Money is a very cost efficient weapon.

People love it and it feels good instead of hurting.

I love Mark Steyn.

Maybe an errant JDAM will hit Robbie Fisk. Some will attend his funeral, most won't.

Waaay too much logic in there for the average liberal to comprehend.
