Was listening to CNN (international) the other day, one of the talking heads, was saying that the, "NO WMD" was a done deal and acting like the thought, of attacking Iraq without it, really upset her liberal sensitivities.
With all of the oil for food money, Sadam and the bunch had stashed, it´s probable, they were putting together some kind of meaness.
The oil for food money missing, somewhere between, Sadam, the U.N. regulators and the grain exporters. Hasn´t gotten much play in the press lately.
Noticed after Bagdad fell and the population went on the rampage, an awfull lot of paper and files were burnt, seems highly unlikely, people would bother. Last thing I´d do in a riot, unless I was motivated.
Could be the whole thing stinks so bad, the US is willing to take the heat and swallow the consequences, along with England and a few others. Just to cover the smell.

About all I can do for you guys, is offer moral support and worry alot. What Jeepin_Rebel said, about being cautious of Everything, sounds like good advice. Paranoia is a survival trait, stay sharp, stay aware, listen to your instincts. Get home safe.

Trust me its not paranoia. They have stuffed explosives in dead animals and almost anything else you can think of. They also like to drive into the covoy and start shootin at everything. Not good. so like i said its not paranoia i have been outside the whire more than most on my camp. Mostly for things that yall really wouldnt want to know about.8Mud said:

I was refering to paranoia as an attitude, not meaning it as imagination. TC´d a M-88 tank recovery vehicle in Nam, I was the guy that went out and towed them in, when they´d run over a mine or got RPG´d. Always hoping, there wasn´t a second mine or an ambush, while sitting on 400 gallons of MoGas (not diesel). Wishing I could look in all directions at once. We used to call it, a severe pucker factor, don´t know what you guys call it.

This is a good read, actually.
I like these parts:
"...For example, of course the obvious, Osama bin Laden remains at large."
"....The government agency that bears the name of justice has yet to deliver the justice for the victims of the worst mass murder in this nation’s history."
"....We need checks and balances. As much as gone wrong that you stubbornly refuse to admit. For this democratic republic to work, we need openness and accountability."
