#2 Article: Mr Straw may be seeking to assuage anti-war sentiment in Britain, particularly in his Blackburn constituency, which has a sizeable Muslim population.

I am starting to figure out why Straw keeps on making these bizarre statements. I find it pretty amusing - Muslims voting en bloc for a Jew.

#3 Maybe they don't know, or are cupping their hands over their ears and yelling, "YAAYAAYAAYAAYAA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU" when someone tries to tell them.

#4 Hay hay hay! Shouldn't we get out of Germany and Korea first?

#5 Bill, U.S. forces in Germany have been reduced at a steady pace since the early 1990s... I watched the process from a civilian corner of Frankfurt, and lost my favorite bookstore in that part of the world when Abrams Airforce base closed. Pretty soon Germany will be down to just a few thousand Amis in uniform, and no dependents. In South Korea, Rumsfeld has started pulling American troops back beyond Seoul, leaving the locals in charge of protecting their border with their Northern cousins. Each time troops are rotated out for service elsewhere, they won't be going back. So that segment of our world forces reorganization is going along smartly. No worries, mate!
