#1 ..Watched the films of the Al-Samouds being destroyed on CNN this morning. I told my son a few days ago that if you gave me some paint, plywood, and some aluminum ductwork, I could make all kinds of missiles to destroy for the cameras - and it looks like I wasn't that far off. All they were showing were empty casings - no indications that there had ever been a solid rocket motor in there, no plumbing for wiring and control systems, nuttin. On top of that, they were doing it in what looked to be an alleyway between two buildings, using a skiploader. Not even the Iraqis are that dumb. (Full Disclosure - I did 20 years in the USAF as a munitions specialist, working on air to air and air to ground missiles.)

#2 Powell: "Where's the proof that they have destroyed these rockets?"
Blix: "Stupid idiot! It was on CNN!"

#3 from Boortz' site, and originally in AJC:

âHans Blix talks about Iraqi cooperation the same way a battered woman talks about her abusive boyfriend's promise to change.â
