Loved it when Ollie made monkeys out of the kangaroo court some years ago, but he does seem to have document shredding on the brain. BTW notice that te French are now saying that they will join the fray if Sodom uses chem or bio weapons. Conspicuously absent was a mention of nuclear weapons.

Ollie mentioned yesterday and today that he was upset about reports in the media about the military's lack of preparedness to deal with chemical and biological weapons. He was pretty hot about this subject. Does anyone think he was referring to Col. Hackworth? I seem to remember hearing him on Hannity saying such a thing. Do these two have their own little feud going on?

That's why other nations were asking for more time.
Iraq could surrender WMD in 4 hours, but destroying world wide assistance documents could take a few extra months.
They're not fooling anyone.

What I'd like to see
when they get to Baghdad
is Saddam's list of friends
with their numbered Swiss bank accounts.

Sounds like a shredder and "delete *.*" party is going on.

The game is up, and Chirac seems to know it.

I heard that as of this Morning France had not decided to close their embassy in Iraq; I guess it is true that these French diplomats are over at the palace working hard with the shredders.

If the world really knew how much France has been involved in selling wmd stuff to Iraq/Iran/?, the boycott of France would be awesome.

I'm asking for volunteers to create a good product list of alternative products. If you are an expert in a category or would like start a list of American or Ally products/services, let me know.

Once you get it set up and have a master copy in your FreepMail, you can just copy it for each reply to the request.
