Brilliant

God in blue-on-blue incident, misses Fisk, hits Kelly.

[gcruse]

Fox really needs to put Steyn on the air.

[visualops]

Excellent.

[Renfield]

"...loo rolls = toilet paper...."....

I bet y'all had quite a laugh back in the '70s when Lou Rawls had a string of R&B hits on the radio.....

[Grampa Dave]

The headless snake thrashing around the Iraqi desert doesn't make a quagmire.

[Grampa Dave]

The Independent's Saddamite buffoon Robert Fisk is still panting his orgasmic paeans to the impenetrability of Baghdad's defences and huffily insisting there are no Americans at the airport even as the Saddam International signs are being torn down and replaced with Rumsfeld International.

Will the Perfumed Princesses of the Clintoon era make their nightly appearances on ABCNNBCBS and pretend to be armchair generals re how bad the war has gone since we entered Baghdad?

[Billthedrill]

Iraq has no general, just the odd paunchy yes-man who plays one on TV.

That wouldn't be as funny if it weren't literally true.

[mark the shark]

I have to agree, the Iraqui's are the army that forgot to fight. We gave them the invitation and not many showed up. It will be incredibly boring to hear the nay-sayers and the retired-so-and-so generals and un-named Pentagon sources and former White House and former Defense Dept. want-to-be's dissect and pick this war apart. I can really wait, personally.
Our current leadership did exactly as they said they were going to do, and they have led superbly and they will deliver the goods that it takes to finish this nasty business. We are seeeing the difference between 2 camps, the one talks a good fight and the real guys finish the fight. We are finishing this fight. Many thanks to our British and Aussie partners and also to the rest of our coalition partners. God Bless them for having the guts for this fight.

I saw him on C-SPAN one night with some other conservative people--he was great and just as funny and sarcastic as his columns.

[CyberAnt]

I loved the reference to "loo-paper"

In case people don't know that is - it's toilet paper.

[LynnHam]

The best thing is to ignore the various scenarios and look at patterns of behaviour. Whatever happened in that bunker on Thursday morning, the Iraqis are certainly acting as if they're headless.

My theory is that they were frantically digging trying to find Saddam ... Crying, Where did you hide our WMD's?

Thjanks MI!

Steyn ping.

As I write, coalition forces are rolling into the center of Baghdad. The left is going to be apoplectic in their analysis. They continue to reveal themselves for what they are....spineless, pseudo-intellectual, amoral, whining idiots who wish the world would just hunker down in their basements while dicussing the merits and spirituality of orgasm. God, how I detest that "oh so superior attitude"!

Steyn is priceless.

I really appreciate your posts and remarks. Thanks so much

[AnAmericanMother]

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

Classic! It takes Steyn to combine Shakespeare and Conan Doyle . . . :-D

[NewYorker]

Simply The BEST!

[Dog Gone]

On Iraqi TV, every Information Minister or Deputy Prime Minister who turns up to read the late Saddam's latest statement is wearing a uniform. In the Iraqi army, hardly anyone is.

So many great lines in one Steyn column...

[Notforprophet]

Ivan - another 'home run' for Steyn. G O A L !

Pokey - thanks for the ping.

I'd really like to see Mark Steyn replace one of the buffoons on just about any cable news panel.
