I wonder if he was on the deck of cards?

I wonder how many of those were accounted for?

There will be more and more . . . arrests.

And more proof of why we are in Iraq, the original premise of WMD being produced, moved and developed in cooperation with Saddam.

Don't expect to see this on the evening news -- your MSM stations or major cable TV, though.

There is so much more significant news going on right now . . .

Like who won the American Idol show.

Or who Jerry Springer has putting on a show on any given weekday.

Or who or what Oprah Winfrey said about anything.
