#1 Awww, it was fun while it lasted but the show is almost over. It really looked like they could have had something special going in Iraq but those damn coalition bombs and soldiers had to and ruin the whole thing.

#2 Guess they didn't want Al-Jazeera filming while the Republican Guard slipped into slacks and sport shirts.

#3 Maybe he doesn't want them around when the gas starts?

#5 I think you're right. Even al-Jazeera's closer to freedom of the press than Sammy wants to go.

#6 My first thought is that Saddam (or whoever) doesn't want the outside world to see the Iraqis use gas. But another possibility is that things are getting shaky for the regime, and those in charge don't want the outside world seeing Baathist thugs murdering the citizens of Baghdad in order to keep them in line.

#7 al Jazeera would never report Sammy whacking his own people, they only want to report the infidel Kaffir invaders "war crimes".

I am a little worried this is what anonymouse said: getting them out ahead of the gas....

it's gotta be coming soon and this weekend is forecast to be 46 degrees celcius in Baghdad - too hot for chem suits...
