Oh, I Love Trash…
I doubt that George will wait that long, but given the general anti-war tenor of various celebrities, I think it would be an excellent idea to time the first attack on Baghdad for Sunday night. Would sometime, say around 8:30e/5:30p be good for you?
France May Help After All
France suggested they could help in the war with Iraq if chemical or biological weapons are used. Why do I have such an urge to tell President Jacques Chirac to kiss my ass? It’s not that I don’t appreciate it, but what message does this send? We don’t support you, we think you are wrong, but if your skin is burning from your bones we may step in.

Tariq Aziz has attempted to defect. No one is sure if he is dead or not.

Update: Fog O’War claims another victim.
With the war possibly hours away, rumors are beginning to circulate about what our troops can expect and how the war may go. My friend Prarie Dog told me of a rumor that Saddam will possibly blow up dams south of Baghdad, and the mess and loss of life could be great from such a move. I hope that our troops are truly prepared for anything, because I think Saddam will resort to anything he can think of. When his removal is inevitable (I realize it already is, but I mean when Saddam finally realizes that he must go), he will probably throw everything at us that he can. His troops may be throwing chemical weapons, dirty bombs, rocks, chickens, whatever by that time. I would expect his palaces may be booby-trapped and that he may seriously consider blowing himself up rather than being captured………..let’s be careful out there.
I have another theory on why we are going to war, and it has nothing to do with Saddam or oil. Once I stumbled on this idea it became so clear to me. Who stands to benefit the most from this war? Not the U.S., or England, or the varous countries of the Middle East……………..CNN. Perhaps this war has been manufactured so that CNN can regain the national spotlight as it did the last time we fought Iraq. Perhaps the most powerful dictator is not Saddam, but Ted Turner.
