Don't you realize how hazardous it is to be a US Senator? You can get booed! People could stop liking you, and call you bad names if you don't do what they want you to do. There is so much psychological trauma, that ex-Senators need tons of money so they can live a luxurious lifestyle to counter-act possible losses of reputation.

Bad attitude!

French/U.S. relations are in the basement.

So, it's war. Saddam will never leave!

No, not peacefully he won't. The 48 hours isn't really for him anyway. Bush knows he won't leave on his own. The 48 hours is for the UN and other foreign non-combatants to get out of dodge. And to give the Iraqi soldiers a good idea of what time to be away from their equipment.

I wonder if the New Orleans city government will change Mardi Gras into Big Freedom Tuesday.

Well in a few days the French will have to scratch one rich dictator off of their list of economic assets. Gas will cost more in Paris, and there will be a surplus of consumer goods. Consumer 155mm rounds, and consumer radars, consumer Roland�s and consumer heat seekers. But not to worry, as was once said in a popular movie �There is another�. They will just have to dust off the deals they had with Kadafi[sp]. I�m sure he would like to buy a breeder.

As a side note, there was an Israeli on the shuttle when it went down. First Israeli in space. Anyone know what his other 15 minutes of fame were.

He was one of the pilots who bombed the reactor that the French were building for the Iraqis.

If not sooner.

If the Americans have major successes early in the war, I would think he will be assassinated.

Or possibly he will take Hitler's route.
