"It's been the best day of the year," said a smiling Abu Mustafa, a French-trained pet-shop owner above the uproar of squawking birds.

Sounds like a French diplomat at the U.N....

...thronging to the capital's bird-market to buy canaries...

I did a complete Internet search to see if these exact words have been penned by any "journalist" in the history of mankind - and found they have not.

This journalist is The One.

I hear our troops have chickens for the same purpose. And if they don't die, you can always eat them.

Should the air turn to a Chernobyl, canaries take just 10 minutes to die."

Just out of curiosity, what would the typical Iraqi DO after observing the death of his canary.

That's devotion to one's job - imagine being a reporter and wanting to go to Iraq before the curtain rises! You may indeed get a scoop - or you may have to be scooped up along with the rest of the ashes.

More power to them, though. And would it be too much to hope some of them might not be socialism freaks or 'activism journalists'?

Point is this. If only that section of the American press could get it through to these people this. The Americans love little children, pet dogs, old people, and even canarys, They just want to get rid of Saddam

Of course the beggars(Deluded peacenik press) just cannot see this. Go GWB go.
