bilmore's hometown TV station sheds some light on the missing explosives

I'm surprised the admin hasn't been spinning this angle more. BUT possession of these explosives, while dangerous, did not violate UN sanctions.

And you're losing focus again. The issue here is that the admin rushed to war and did not adequately plan for the war. They tried to do the war on the cheap to make it more marketable to the American public and, in so doing, failed to commit the necessary number of troops to do the job properly. This is an indictment of planners at the top of the administration and not, as some Rs such as Giulianni have stated, a failure of the troops in the field.

edited to change "your" to "you're" for dtb

Of course, if Arafat dies, I'm definitely going out to celebrate with a beer.
I got one a couple months ago for my birthday and I love it. They're incrdibly easy to use. The thing that will take up your time is downloading your discs. I've only gotten about a third of my collection on it so far.

Electricity is used in the making of nuclear weapons, and Iraq was generating electricity. QED.

If you could condense this just a little more, we could almost fit it onto a Bush-Cheney '04 poster.

Could you condense your sig picture? It's a hateful thing you do, rubbing this into the faces of those who cared.

Well, you'd have to fix the grammar too. Or, maybe not.

Oh. Never heard of it (the WSJ, that is -- ha ha). I thought it was a catalogue.

I agree it's utterly tasteless -- made even worse by the kid's shit-eating grin (a tie-in from the FB).
