Damn. I had hoped my brother might be able to bring me back a Tokarev knock-off. Looks like I’ll have to be happy with my vial of Sand from the Iraqi dessert. Ah well. ---

From Cledet: * * * ``` quote:Originally posted by Susma Rio Sep ``` And Bush uses the word ‘game’ to refer to his war on Iraq or more precisely against Saddam and company – but the Iraqi nation is the victim just the same. * * * ## When did President Bush refer to this war as a game? The only person I’m aware of that did that was Iraqs U.N. rep. Cledet: I want to express to you my regrets for two faults on my part: 1. Saying that Bush uses the word ‘game’ in referring to the war on Iraq when I still did not have any quotations in support; 2. Trying to pass three quotations later in attempted support when I knew better that they could not precision-wise relate to Bush’s speech on war. To all parties concerned, please accept my sincere regrets, whatever your sympathy towards Bush. Yours sincerely, Susma Rio Sep ---

Exactly that I regret saying that Bush refers to the war as a game when to the present I have not found any quotes in support. Regards, Susma Rio Sep ---

U.S. looting soldiers are just getting the spoils of war just like in any other war. What’s wrong with that? F L A M I N G I N G S P A C E Just kidding! :wally I think the looting by the Iraqi people is bad enough. But atleast they are poor and desperate and have a good excuse. U.S. soldiers and reporters looting is just plain despicable. :mad: ---

torben: I know you were being faceitous; however, the answer to your query, “What’s wrong with that?” is: It’s a violation of at least one of the punitive articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. ---

One of you guys will find out, eventually. Just keep that name in your attention span. It will come in a flash. Thanks.
