#1 Whoa--If al-Jazeera posts something this US-friendly, then the jig is definitely up! Wonder how many sad faces there are in the Muslim world today--outside of Baghdad, that is?

#2 I think we must've hit something big in that restaurant, 'cause these are the signs of things falling apart at the house of Saddam.
The threat now becomes Al-Qaeda thugs and those other foreigners renowned for making Aghanistan the envy of the world.

#3 The journalists at the Palestine Hotel must be relieved now. All the Roaches left the place and the Orkin Man does not have to go back there again....

#4 Fox News reported that they heard al Jazeera was run out of Basra to the Kuwaiti border and the Kuwaitis had to "save" them and let them in.

Seems the citizens of Basra did not like AJ's coverage.

And Fox News also reported that there was a confrontation w/AJ in Dearborn, MI and the police had to escort them from the parade.

#5 And the Iraqi's wet their proverbial finger and hold it up in the air to see which way the wind is blowing - today.

Ah, but what about tomorrow?

Bet things turn "Yankee go home" within a month.

#6 Aw, hell, I'd have sprung for Info Man's airfare. One condition.....he'd have to leave from Baghdad International Airport!!
