The headache's just beginning for America
Straits Times, Singapore - 4-7-03
THE awesome task facing the United States in Iraq today was summed up by Vice-President Dick Cheney in 1992, when, as Secretary of Defence, he explained why he didn't go for Baghdad: 'If we'd gone to Baghdad and got rid of Saddam Hussein - assuming we could have found him - we'd have had to put a lot of forces in and run him to ground some place. Then, you've got to put a new government in his place and then you're faced with the question of what kind of government are you going to establish in Iraq? Is it going to be a Kurdish government or a Shi'ite government or a Sunni government? How many forces are you going to have to leave there to keep it propped up?'

Welcome back to the future, Mr Vice-President.

The administration's obsession with secrecy also has been seen in the failure to release details on the makeup of Vice President Dick Cheney's task force that shaped energy policy, in the attempt to limit intelligence briefings to only eight members of Congress because of a leak, and in ...the rescission of access to a president's records 12 years after he had left office.

Today's cartoon was inspired by a Dick.  Dick Cheney.

You live in the Deep South when...
1. You get a movie, a cup of coffee and bait in the same store.
2. After 15 years you still hear, "You ain't from 'round here, are ya?"
3. "He needed killin" is a valid defense.
4. Everyone has 2 first names.

I've lived in the south for a lot longer than 15 years and I hear that #2 phrase weekly.

Thanks Jerry.  You keep me laughing.
