Powell: Iraqi People to Choose Leaders

Miami Herald, FL - 4-13-03


The people of Iraq will choose their future government in democratic elections, Secretary of State Colin Powell said Sunday, trying to dispel fears that Washington will appoint a puppet administration. "The United States has not anointed anyone to be the future leader of Iraq or to be the leader of the interim Iraqi authority," Powell said.

Thanks R.


bin Laden--bin Forgotten? Apparently so. The Taliban is rearing it's ugly head again.  Are there too many irons in the fire? 

QUESTION:  If Bush was a POW-- would he still have that cocky walk?

Political Commentary from former Arizona talk radio host Bob Witkowski

I DON'T HAVE TO SUPPORT THE MORON.

I'M AN AMERICAN, NOT A JOCKSTRAP!

WE'RE NUMBER ONE!

Okay. We won The War. Good for US. Woweee Zoweee.

Can somebody tell me exactly what it is We Just Won? I mean, I don't want to be a spoilsport, but just what the heck did we win? I'm not even sure why we went to war in the first place. I know there's a multiple choice of reasons that were molded each week to justify this invasion as soon as one reasons was debunked.

ARMY EXCHANGES GREEN BERETS

FOR GREEN SOMBREROS! 

 

Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld

models the new “Green Sombrero”,

which is now being worn by army commandos

in lieu of unpatriotic French-style berets.


REUTERS In yet another indication of lingering American hostility towards France, the Army announced on Thursday that it is departing from long-time tradition and changing the name of its elite fighting unit from the Green Berets to the Green Sombreros.

“It is now official United States Army policy to detest everything that is from France,” said General Marcel de Gaulle, commander of U.S. Forces stationed at New Orleans. “For example, during target practice, the troops now lob grenades at an effigy of Mister French from Family Affair.”

According to anonymous sources at the Pentagon, the Green Sombrero was ultimately chosen over a number of other possibilities, including the Green Beefeater, the Green Fez, and the Green Yarmulke.

“It is a little more cumbersome than the beret,” acknowledged Colonel Pepe Le Beau, a tactical munitions specialist from Sault Ste. Marie. “And the damn thing makes it much easier for enemy snipers to locate and kill you. But that is a small price to pay for repudiating France. In this man’s army, we prize patriotism above everything – well, patriotism and liberty. And equality. And, of course, fraternity.”

“I love the new Green Sombreros,” exclaimed Undersecretary of the Army Michelle Bardot. “They are so dashing, so elegant, so…Je ne sais qua!”
