Great Toon, says it so well!

Isn't it fun to be right? LOL!

Yes it is! It must really suck to be one of those faux freepers who were continually knocking the American military.

They revealed their true motives throughout the past three weeks as the truth began to trickle down in various articles leading up to this one. I guess they get together quite often and agree over the Koran to never admit they were wrong.

LOL, isn't that the truth! I notice they've been conspicuously absent the past couple of days. It's ok though, I can still 'think' I told you so :)

Yes, they know we know. They just don't know that they don't know.

The truth finally started leaking out this week; see the thread/article at this
URL that I saw Monday...and didn't hear a mention in the media until Wednesday
afternoon:

I got very angry when I heard a major network radio news snippet about
how Interpol agents working out of Paris (in the perfidious country of France)
were working really hard to find the "many looted antiquities".

[VOA]

So spoke Ronald Noble, the Secretary General of Interpol, at a conference
yesterday in Lyon, France, devoted to the recovery of stolen Iraqi artifacts.
The context for Mr. Noble's remarks is the incredible reduction in the estimate
of the number of artworks lost in the ransacking of Baghdad's National Museum.

Well, "what a difference a day makes".
As I said in an earlier post, Tuesday, I heard that Interpol was hot on the
trail of those thousands of looted antiquities (on major network radio news)...
Wednesday, Interpol says (via the good offices of the WSJ) "Never mind...".

And where the heck are the apologies from Freepers?

Not really FReepers, just a bunch of chickensh!t DU plants trying to stir up a little trouble. I think we chased 'em back over to the dark side.
