It’s been said before, but

“One man’s ‘Terrorist’ is another man’s ‘Minuteman/Patriot’”

if we look back into our own history …

Everything else is according to Bushco. I thought that all that is wrong in Iraq must be Bill Clinton’s fault. Everything else is according to Bushco.

(They cleverly avoided answering the question about the estimated size of the resistance overall.) They said he had fewer than 6000 fighters out of a total Iraqi population of 25 million. I did a little math based on 5000 fighters and it was quite a coincidence that an AF General was talking about how that was a miniscule portion when it is is virtually identical to the proportion between the US population and the US Air Force (including Guard but not Reserve). I guess a "miniscule" forces can have some impact. I just saw Secretary Rumsfeld and General Meyer live on CSPAN talking about how Sadr’s forces represented a “miniscule” portion of the population.

As a part time substitute teacher, even I am one, (let alone all of the writing I've done on this site) according to Bush's Education Secretary. We are all evildoers.

It's this darn calculator I picked up second hand from the folks who originally figured out how much Bush's Medicare proposal would cost. Sorry. Of course what I'm really apologizing for is my admission of error, since that's really out of style right now.
