Could it be a good 'ol American Fig Newton?

Posted at 6:40 AM, Pacific That looks like a pretty happy quagmire to me.

I read the New York Times editorial pages for the first time in a couple of weeks to see how the gang would spin this. It isn't easy, after all, being revealed as beyond-Pluto wrong about how the war would go. Tom Friedman goes local and files "pay no attention to the people in front of the curtain" article. Maureen Dowd just goes low, attacking Victor Davis Hanson as Dick Cheney's "war guru."

Davis was my guest yesterday, a couple of hours after he'd given a talk to the senior leadership of the Pentagon. It is no surprise that Dowd doesn't like Hanson. If Hanson sets a trend, Dowd is going to have to start using facts. Interesting how the left works --in defeat, no humility, only a snarling and another round of invective.

But the live feeds from Baghdad are live feeds. The Iraqi information minister is going to have a tough time spinning this, and if, as Tom Friedman argues, the entire Arab world is arguing about the occupation of Iraq, then we are dealing with a deep refusal to deal with the facts. The Iraqi people are becoming our best witnesses, and the best sign of the morning: "Human Shields Go Home." The Marines and the Army, it seems, are just what the oppressed people of Saddam's horror chambers wanted.

What is a "wanker"?

Where did you hear or see that word?

[bonesmccoy]

wanker= pudknocker = jerk-off

used as in "wussy", "wimp", and "selfish, weakling"

This war is not over yet.

MOAB may get used on a likely target.... Tikrit?

My daughter's boyfriend used that term one day. I asked him what it meant. He told me, in detail. I was sorry I asked.

Hello Devil, here I come!

It's primarily British slang, though it caught on stateside in a lmited capacity 10-15 years ago, with the broadcast of, "The Young Ones," a Brit sit-com that was shown on, I think VH1 (?)

Of course, from now on, it will also be recognized as an euphemism for "Human Shield."

Keep the pictures coming :) I enjoy saving them and printing them out!

[sirchtruth]

LOL!!! That's quite interesting for those two Iraqi's to use that word....

Of all the plethra of english words to use, they find one that definatively describes HS most appropriately.

Note that someone named "Damn Yankee" added the following definition this morning:

A human shield once located in Iraq.
Go home you wanker.

I rated it 5 stars.

Then someone named "anrol nedrub" (lorna burden backwards???) added this definition:

President Bush is a wanker, all americans are wankers. All americans are fat arsed wankers, and they can't speak english

I clicked on the "Recommend for deletion" trashcan icon.

I'm not sure if you ever listen to Bob and Tom on the radio, but they have a skit that I used to like a lot. My favorite phrase from it was - "If you're not playing a Gibson and a Marshall - you're a bloody wanker."
