Was SkyNews guy on FN? Ack. Americans are learning about the power (and mischief) of the media.

One of the bright spots of the morning, Simon Marks wide-eyed enthusiasm at the discovery that Baghdad Bob has been lying. "Over in Baghdad they seem to be suffering from clouded judgement," Simon Marks startled that the Iraqi Info Min. reports have been, gasp, all fiction! (^:

Simon Marks also commented that Baghdad would not be what mr. o'reilly would call a no spin zone yet.

Is the fog of war lifting?

I was reading an interesting article this AM titled "France seeks slice of postwar pie."
France refused to fight the war so should not profit from peace. But stopping France Inc. from sharing in the postwar spoils may prove harder than it sounds.
Bagdad's water system and much of Iraq'a now bomb-blasted phone networkwork built by French companies. Before the war, France was Iraq's biggest suppliers of essential goods.
Also for each of the past five years, the French stand at B-dad's annual trade fair won the gold medal as best Western display.
No wonder the French,Germans, and Russia are wanting the UN to take the lead in rebuilding Iraq. Now that they see that the outcome is inevidable, they are afraid that if the US and Brits take the leading role in the rebuilding process, they stand to loose billions in lost business opportunities.
Good that the House of Reps voted to ban US dollars from going to French, German, Syrian or Russian companies for Iraq's rebuilding.
