I hadn't figured that the administration's supporter's, like McCain, would blow a fuse and become insane quite so quickly. I think we can assume that McCain's chances for the White House are poor and diminishing quickly. So, that leaves Romney and Guiliani from the Republican side. They will eat each other alive over the next 2 years. These kind of people eat their young, if necessary. Maybe Hillary has a good shot after all! Though, if she starts twiddling to the center, in my opinion, we can count her out, too. Could there really be a President Kucinich! Yeah!

If you look carefully at the footage of the demolition of the statue of Saddam Hussein, most of the barely a couple of hundred people in the film footage are journalists. Now you can argue this was due to fear of Saddam Hussein or uncertainty or whatever. But to claim this represented a mass outpuring is as big a load of pony as the `evidence' of Saddam's linkage with Al Qaeda that was `found' in the (anti Kurdish al Qaeda off shoot) Ansa Al Islam's camp; puporting to show a cartoonish comically ugly Saddam 9a veritable Arabian `Butthead' of Beavis & Butthead) fellating an enormous cigar while the twin towers hit by planes in the background. Just 2 problems. First ascetic Muslims believe in the death penalty for smoking. Second Saddam believed in the death penalty for anyone that made him look ugly. Apart from that, damn convincing evidence. The claim about the so called `being greeted as liberators’ when USA forces entered Baghdad is a good example of Orwellian propaganda.
