#1 4 corners of the universe? I recall hearing the phrase "4 corners of the world" before (flat-earth geography, of course). But shouldn't the universe have more than 4 corners? Last time I checked the universe was at least 3 dimensional. 8 corners would be required for a cube-shaped universe. :-p

#2 If they're gonna leave before it starts, they're not human shields, they're tourists. Nice of the Foreign Ministy to pick up the tab. But it is Islam on Line.

#3 Is it possible that "Human Shields" = Advisors?

#4 Scooter you blasthemous infidel! The universe has 4 corners, says so right here...

Remember what the Russians did in Kosovo? Didn't they suddenly appear in Pristina or something like that? I must admit this crossed my mind, they could pull off a stunt like this again, with Saddam's blessing. Actually maybe not, because then the US forces would have make a run for it to take the majority of the country and surround Baghdad. Hey, it could be Berlin all over again.
