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. |

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?

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.

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!”
