Well, the United Nations says Iraq is being very cooperative. George The Bush says this isn't encouraging.

And Jack Straw - gotta admire his timing.

The blinds are on - and the aircraft carriers are moving into place.

Fisk was right.

If you have an opinion on this whole thing - either way, please comment.

This needs voice.

Here:

"If I were the president, I could stop terrorist attacks against the United States in a few days. Permanently. I would first apologize to all the widows and orphans, the tortured and impoverished, and all the many millions of other victims of American imperialism. Then I would announce, in all sincerity, to every corner of the world, that America's global interventions have come to an end, and inform Israel that is it no longer the 51st state of the USA but henceforth - oddly enough - a foreign country. I would then reduce the military budget by at least 90% and use the savings to pay reparations to the victims. There would be more than enough money. One year's military budget of $330 billion is equal to more than $18,000 an hour for every hour since Jesus Christ was born.

That's what I'd do on my first three days in the White House. On the fourth day, I'd be assassinated."

EDIT:
I got a lot of comments on this deviation, and some not so pretty - which I then went on to make another deviation - You can find that at [link]
