#1 ** puts on pointy Math Major hat **

Y'see Fred, compared to infinity, both 250 and 1300 are indistinguishable from zero, and thus are equal...

#2 250 = 1300 for sufficiently large values of 250.

#3 I think you just said they're gonna replace the 1300 120-pound guys in Iraq with 250 624-pound guys in Afghanistan. I'm not sure that's gonna help...

#4 The number are equal if you process the 250 through the PBCE* function.

*PBCE - Pakistani Body Count Estimation.

#6 This move allows Zappy to say he's serious on terror and slam Bush for being in Iraq at the same time. And yes the +125 in Aghanistan is less than the -1300 from Iraq

#7 Thanks Fred, now all I can think of is the Sargeant in the TV version of Zoro, 250 of them.

#10 Fred, would the presence of 624-pound soldiers indicate that Spain intends to sumo wrestle the Taliban into submission?

#11 But what will they DO in Afghanistan? Isn't the new policy to do nothing (whatsoever) to anger terrorists?

#12 Keep the UN's four star chef safe? His souffles can't stand repeated mortar attacks, y'know.
