or they set off a dirty bomb and irradiate our troops while they are safe in the bunkers.

That's possible. Just like it was possible that they'd launch chemical weapons.

But how many casualties would a dirty bomb cause on the battlefield? And then our guys will slaughter the Ba'athists.

[ztiworoh]

I really dont see the resemblance, sorry

[umbagi]

so I guess RFK thinks that Iraq under Saddam was a nicer place for its citizens then Kuwait?

I shudder to think what he thinks we're going to replace SH with, now that we've "unpropped" him...

Kennedy's got some real problems; the last time he was on, he defended his use of private jets for travel, saying that he was "saving oil" with his public appearances...

[The Wizard]

RFK, JR. is an asshole, we get our oil from canada and others....we get so little from them it wouldn't matter, and he knows it or he's a bigger asshole than I thought

Rumsfeld said the same vase stealing scene was playing over and over. Hmmmm, how about a montage of the same vase pictures, (perhaps one that is in dashels office?)

[GOPyouth]

He said we'll have to find that out. Ollie made the point to say that it's from the Jodanian government or somebody in their government supplying arms. From his prior experience in these matters, I would say that this probably came from somebody high up in their government unless their mid-level guys have leeway to ship arms without the head honchos giving the OK for it.

I had to go consult the master wanker list and we don't seem to have a wanker name for the press as a whole. These are some that refer to specific press people/networks:

CNN Wanker Central. All wanking, all the time. Peter Jennings the wankmaster general Helen Thomas = Wankasauras Rex, Wanker Emeritus mediot press conference=wankfest, wankerama

Good usage of nouns and verbs. Will have to keep thinking of good descriptions for the cantankerous wanker press.

[GOPyouth]

I think he's dead, but from the 2nd strike. The entire government collapsed after that 2nd strike.

[cyncooper]

I am glad you caught it. Yes, and a reporter who is proud to be an American and said it out loud (and it wasn't on Fox)!

[najida]

Just as I read your post, Chip Reid, embedded reporter in Baghdad and on MSNBC, says yes there's some looting but they did not have the sense it was anarchy, chaos, or any long term problem. Actually, as he speaks I realize I heard this report from Chip earlier.

It appears quite fun in all the pictures I have seen, like city wide swap meet. Nothing violent, just happy folks going home with refrigerators, grand pianos and butt ugly urns.

I think what remains of the Baathist regime is hanging around on the Syrian shore, soaking up rays and looking for deeper hiding places.

There are a few die hards at the edge of the Syrian border, and Tikrit remains a big concern.

There's more to be had, however.

[turbocat]

Scarborough is going to cover CNN - the what did they know and when.....

[The Wizard]

exactly my point, this is Saddam's flag not the flag they placed on the statue they pulled down...that was pre Saddam....no words

[glock rocks]

Has anyone ever seen Robert Kennedy Jr. and John Ritter in the same room?

yes. and sadly, the hotel couldn't rent out that room again for weeks.

Rumsfeld said the same vase stealing scene was playing over and over. Hmmmm, how about a montage of the same vase pictures, (perhaps one that is in dashels office?)

Even though my son is a Captain in the army he still likes to play Nintendo. In Zelda there is a scene where Link goes into a room and there are some blue and white oriental vases. I was watching my son play a couple of weeks ago and he showed me how Link could break the vases and that scene came to my mind when I heard about the looters with the vases.

[SamAdams76]

This is probably the flag the Iraqis would rather see today. Saddam changed the flag to add Arabic writing in 1991 after the invasion of Kuwait. I think the writing refers to Kuwait being the 19th province or something like that.

[retrokitten]

Oh my. That and the Nancy Pelosi bug-eye picture is going to keep me up for weeks!

Hannity nailed it .. if they REALLY wanted everyone to use alternate fueled cars .. they should put all their time, energy and money perfecting a good product that Americans could buy ...

IMO they would rather put their time, energy and money into attacking the right... which makes them look like the phonies that they are
