#1 "The tactic of setting oil-filled trenches ablaze around the Iraqi areas since the beginning of invasion has sent all missiles, aircraft and electronically-guided military equipment of the U.S-led invasion forces into full blindness by misleading their hit targets, a Tunisian expert said."

This guy is an expert? In what, underwater basket-weaving? He must be a Columbia graduate. Only the idiots in Baghdad would think that GPS-controlled missiles would be deflected by oil smoke. Sammy boy may think it keeps the US from seeing how much damage is done, but that, too, is a farce. We use full multispectral imaging techniques that can see just as well at midnight as they can in the day, and aren't even totally blocked out by another of those "once in fifty years" sandstorms.

Idiocy, sheer idiocy.

#2 Iraq's chief Muslim cleric pronounced a Fatwa, or religious decree, calling on the people to fight against the U.S. and British invasion forces.

#3 My original fatwa still stands, so nothing has changed. We're still going in.

#5 French President Jacques Chirac and British Prime Minister Tony Blair said they wanted to "work together closely" on post-war Iraq, Chirac's office said.

Who invited Chirac to this party? Didn't he say he wanted no part of this war? Wouldn't that include 'postwar'? Anyone else think he smells profits????
