US seeks backing on Iran nuclear issue
Boston Globe, MA - 9-9-03 Associated Press

VIENNA -- The United States and its allies lobbied a key UN atomic agency conference yesterday to join them in calling on Iran to prove it is not running a covert nuclear weapons program...Last week the Bush administration decided not to ask the Vienna meeting to endorse a resolution finding Iran in noncompliance of the atomic agency's obligations -- a conclusion that would have brought the matter to the UN Security Council.

"There was no other choice but to back down, because that proposal didn't have many countries to go along with it," Salehi said.

 Bush snookers public over Iraq
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, WI - 9-9-03

Two years later, is it "gullible" for some to still insist Saddam Hussein had something to do with the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001?
Or does that kind of blind - some might say misguided - faith require a word that's a bit stronger?
You know, something like "sucker"?
Back in my old neighborhood, folks who kept falling for the same con over and over were considered suckers...

Army troops, budget stretched to the limit
GovExec.com - 9-9-03

...Meanwhile, the Army is scouring units worldwide for Humvees, especially the armored variety, to fill acute shortages in Iraq. The Army Materiel Command recently reported that it has a months-long backlog of orders for replacement tracks for its Abrams tanks, Bradley Fighting Vehicles, and Paladin self-propelled howitzers, because of unexpectedly high wear and tear in Iraq. Electrical generators are likewise in short supply...


We need someone like Captain Kirk to save this planet.

Bush Country

A man walked into a cowboy bar and ordered a beer just as President Bush appeared on the television. After a few sips, he looked up at the television and mumbled, "Now, there's the biggest horse's ass I've ever seen." A customer at the end of the bar quickly stood up, walked over to him, and decked him. A few minutes later, as the man was finishing his beer, Mrs. Bush appeared on the television. "She's a horse's ass too," the man. This time, a customer at the other end of the bar quickly stood up, walked over to him, and knocked him off his stool. "Damn it!" the man said, climbing back up to the bar. "This must be Bush country!" "Nope," the bartender replied. "Horse country!"
