ministry of information, or is it misinformation, or deception, or lies, i just can't figure out which one.
like i said before, yanks will have tanks and bbq's in the centre of baghdad in a week and the ministry of information will claim the hostile invaders are retreating home.

Hehe the best part was when they said that yesterday's exersion into Bagdhad was fake footage of coalition forces when they were 20 miles out of Bagdhad a few days ago. Yet a few days ago when coalition forces claimed being 20 miles out of Baghdad the Iraqis claimed we were nowhere near Baghdad

Woohoo!!!! Troops are in Baghdad to stay, Presidential Palace is occupied, Chemical Ali is dead, British have captured Basra, potentially chemical weapons are found!!! Hopefully this thing will be over soon.
I can't wait to hear what the ministry of wishful thinking says next!

So at what point when the US hasn't invaded Iran or Syria can I say I told you so? Or are you going to remain the consumate conspiracy theorist and perpetually believe in a US plot to sieze control of al the Middle East?

You're equating the perception of threats, by a select few individuals, and concluding that American foreign policy is going to go to war over each of those threats. Yes Perle, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, and the all-mighty all Zionist Ari Fleischer (I still get a kick out of whoever labelled him as a huge Jewish influence in forging American foreign policy), view Iran and Syria with caution as being potential threats to the US. But your twisting their perceptions and concluding that based upon what those men think alone, that they will manipulate US foreign policy into eliminating all those threats by going to war. It's not going to happen. Do you think congress is going to magically sign declarations of war for any country in the middle east?
Also you're equating Woolsey's statements with the position of the American government ... who the hell is woolsey anyway??? He's the former CIA director from 1993-1995! Gimme a break if you take statements from every high level american offical from 1980 to the present day you could possibly conclude that the US is going to invade Pluto!
Your 2+2=4 argument is like saying if you take 2.78989797 and add 2.1324234347077 it'll equal 4 with heavy rounding

So far this war has gone way better then expected. I really thought that Saddam would have something up his sleeve. I guess not. American military planners are damn good. The Aussies and British are pretty darn good too.
I'm sure nobody will ever notice how many lives have been saved by this war.

Dude haven't you heard? The pentagon war plan is a failure. Peter Arnett said so himself
