Jay Garner, the retired US general who will oversee humanitarian relief and reconstruction in postwar Iraq, is president of an arms company that provides crucial technical support to missile systems vital to the US invasion of the country.
Garner's business background is causing serious concerns at the United Nations and among aid agencies, who are already opposed to US administration of Iraq if it comes outside UN authority, and who say appointment of an American linked to the arms trade is the 'worst case scenario' for running the country after the war.

I repeat, I regret the passing of any human being. Are you listening, john?
Yes, and even more shocking than that, I won't be dancing on Thatcher's grave.
Necessity is often a cause for regret, john.
"I weep for you," the Walrus said:
"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.
"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.

Well, yes, quite. But my first reaction when I heard that was "what was he doing on the roof in the first place?"
There's a thing in the media section of today's Observer where a ITN bod says Terry Lloyd was killed by "accidental fire by coalition forces" and that his crew are still missing. . .

Has anyone noticed the new reinforcements sent to Iraqi war have no desert camouflage?
Effectively reiterating the bad planning, and underestimation of the probable resistance?
This fact not alluded to by any of the Defence Analysts taking up positions in the various TV studios!
Also if the war is going to go into May, June this would be a rerun of Bonaparte, and Hitler mistakes in reverse! (Cold in Russian steps)
Surprisingly no one is talking about it!

btw Rumsfeld surely is a "genious" at political manouvering. I've just seen a press conference where he was sweating slightly trying to justify how the war's going. Despite the fact that he's widely known to take a keen interest in all the details of operational matters, he's now insisting it was Gen. Franks' plan all along now the war's going tits up, and all he did was sign the papers (of course!).
What a brave politician. Thing is he's almost surely not gonna get away with it, seeing as he's the US Defence Secretary.

If only life were like that - but the Bush lot seem to be good at selective amnesia.
Who's John Poindexter? [Director of the Pentagon's Information Awareness Office]
A retired Navy Admiral, John Poindexter lost his job as National Security Adviser under Ronald Reagan, and was convicted of conspiracy, lying to Congress, defrauding the government, and destroying evidence in the Iran Contra scandal. [1]

"The US supply of satellite-guided bombs is running out, Hersh reported, and much of the supply of Tomahawk cruise missiles has been used. "
...when the precision bombs run out, then i guess it'll be back to good old american mass slaughter...

The mayor of Hartlepool is a Frenchman? Isn't there a law against that?
