BY JOVE, HE'S GOT IT
On the other side of the problem, the negotiations with Turkey continue to be a tangled mess, and it has finally dawned on me what I now think is the real point of them. I think that the reason we want a large contingent of troops in Turkey for a northern attack is so that our troops can then occupy Kurdistan and prevent Turkey from doing so.

NOW COLLECTING FUNDS TO GET IRAQ SOME REAL ANTHRAX, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
One William Hutton, of Winnipeg, writes the Globe and Mail to offer his novel view of the world, leaving us to ask the question once again, "Why are all the nutbars from Manitoba?"
Weapons inspector Hans Blix has finally sold out to the Americans. He demands that Iraq destroy 50 Al-Samoud 2 missiles, its best defence against the American invaders, because they slightly exceed the 150-kilometre limit. It is unreasonable to expect the Iraqis to comply when it is obvious that the Americans will attack regardless of Mr. Blix's report. Mr. Blix enables the United States to gain UN support for its aggression.
Of course, as I'm sure Mr. Hutton is aware, those weapons are only useful if they have a chemical or biological warhead on them. Plus, they're ILLEGAL. Presumably, if Mr.Blix had found several vats of weaponized smallpox, Mr. Hutton would oppose their destruction on the same grounds.
Mr. Hutton, it should be noted, also supported the Serbs in the defense of their homeland against the vicious armies of NATO, including Canada's. He supported the New Democratic Party's New Politics Initiative, believed the Serbian massacres at Srebrenica were fictional, and vigorously opposes downtown hockey arenas.
What's the internet equivalent of backing away slowly?
