In a month, Kofi's going to be reduced to speaking at Rotary club meetings in West Virginia.

He wouldn't last in West Virginia.

You know, I am suddenly remembering that President Bush practices political ju-jitsu: he uses the antagonism to leverage his own point of view.

I think that we are seeing this is action. He has divided the press amongst themselves with the use of the embedded reporters, he has shown the American people what clymers they are, and he is using their negativity against the administration and the military to spread disiinformation to the Iraqis.

Heheheh. By the time they wake up, we will be in Baghdad and the press will be the lowest of the low to the general public.

Good point! I'm all for S & A!!!! Look what is happening on Wall Street today!

Annan Hopes UN Weapons Inspectors will Return to Iraq

What? He doesn't like our inspectors?

Our inspectors have been there for two weeks and they have already found more than Blixie did in four months. And our inspectors also do the disarming part at no extra cost. Better system all around.

Sky military analyst saying that once we get to Baghdead, we don't have to go street-to-street. We'll use the six-lane highways and fill in the columns after we get to the center. He didn't see us coming in from the north.

Ain't life grand ..*L*

I know I'm stating the obvious here, but Blix couldn't find his butt with both hands and map...

[Sacajaweau]

100,000 inspectors isn't enough?? The UN inspectors system failed in 1998. Enough said!!

President Bush practices political ju-jitsu

I think you're right, and I definitely have a sense that he's used it on the press this time! I think we're also beginning to see the pressure of real public opinion finally making itself felt, not just that of the media manipulating hate America crowd.

Al Jazeera showing bombing raids in Mosul. Something is afoot in the north.

CNN has a red cross "official" (sounds Arab maybe, hard to grip the accent) and he is going on and on about 100's of civ casualties and deaths at some location. The guys last name is Benjamin I think. Typical guest of CNN, but this could get snapped up and chewed around by the media quickly.

Alot of the forces seem to be camera shy. Alot is going on that WE have no idea of.
