Excellent.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Is this the same Yvonne who recently converted to Islam, exploring it after her release from captivity by the Taliban? And, if she is a new convert, is there any reason to doubt her objectivity? It reminds me of "The Bodysnatchers." Once they convert, they look the same, but they aren't the same.

Impossible!

You can't have a war against Iraq without Baghdad Pete standing on a roof filming it through green Jello.

Its a tradition.

[bribriagain]

huh?

[AM2000]

Yeap, the one and only...

[dighton]

Dunno if I'd take that woman seriously.

[THX 1138]

...DEFEATED ill-equipped Iraqi soldiers in a battle involving Special Forces troops in the North.

When the time comes, Iraqi troops will fold like a cheap suit.

Cheap camera, maybe? (BTW, I completely agree with you)

[TomGuy]

What???? They started the war and didn't tell CNN???? Oh the inhumanity! How inconsiderate! Doesn't Rummy realise CNN needs this for... ratings?????

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Well as the guy used to say on Laugh In...."Very Interesting"

[APBaer]

I that Barney Frank, serving his country again, this time as a commando
starting a war “through the back door”.

LOL!! Incidentally, where is Peter Arnett these days? I would have thought he would be neck deep with Christianna Amanpour in propoganda footage by now.

[Abcdefg]

I don't believe it. This "story" is over two days old and unconfirmed.

[APBaer]

"Its a tradition."

"Fiddler on the Roof [of the Baghdad Hilton]"
"Tradition, tradition! Tradition!
Tradition, tradition! Tradition!"

[aculeus]

Yvonne Ridley is the author of "In the Hands of the Taliban"

A suggestive title if I ever read one.

However I can tell you those troops closest to him do not have loaded weapons because he is afraid of being shot by his own men.

See want gun control gets you. An entire country and large military under the control of a paranoid, dellusional and diabolical socialist. Looks like he will follow in his heros footsteps. Will commit suicide just like Hitler. This latest prince of darkness however will probably shoot his chemcial and biological aces in the hole just before he pulls his own trigger.

[weegee]

Good catch on the identity.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

A woman who converted to Islam "in the hands" of the Taliban???

She's at least three bricks shy of a load.
