#1 971 Google hits for "Bushitler" as of 3/19/2004.

Too bad the moonbats won't even see this report. Or if they do, they will deny it's validity.

#3 Looks like we got quite a bit done for our money. How does this stack up against the Oil-For-Food Program?

#4 Damn $7.00 for MRE? Hmmm. Got excellent value in body armour tho.

Instead of MRE I suggest $40.00 a day meal money. I expect a squad could find some willing cook and local A rats for $15 day per head. Costs more but the food would be better and the locals would get some dough.

Always had a certain ambition to be a company cook in the "old" army. Circa From here to Eternity.

#5 Looks good, but the vaccinations for 22 million children statistic is suspect. If they mean 22 million individual dosages, that sounds more acceptable.

#6 Fred, thanks for the editing help. I posted it just as it came off the news release, so maybe CentCom would like to hire you. I woulda, coulda done it but our server at work crashed Saturday (fried firewall, UPS, and PCI slots), and all we have back at this point is e-mail. Damn you, Microsoft, and your little dog, too!
