Chris,

No, he's not technically black.

He's 50% white from his mother's side.

He's 43.75% Arab and 6.25% African from his father's side.

Not that anyone is truly interested in the facts.

Now back to your regularly scheduled Obasm.

Mr. Taco,

You reveal much about yourself simply by quoting numbers from the repeatedly debunked Lancet study.

Good try on the rest of your drivel too, but those of us who are paying attention are not fooled.

Alex,

Link the Harper's article please. I'd like to read it.

Rico, the "steal their oil" and "lies" questions in post 28 should have been directed at you.

It's more than a little amusing that the leftists here are getting their panties in a twist over the "civilians" who died as a result of the war while completely ignoring the "civilians" who were murdered daily by Saddam and his regime. I would imagine these same individuals are wetting themselves over Sudan.

What's more amusing is that anyone who disagrees with the template that the Iraq war was wrong is considered ignorant. The person calling others ignorant is the person who's post is full of typos and misspellings. Funny how that works, eh?

At least one leftist here believes that Democracy is not worth having if you have to die for it. Fortunately, that line of logic holds no water. If it did we would all be speaking the Queen's English or typing our posts in German or Japanese.

TB, how does that whole "steal their oil" idea work and when will it be implemented? I've got two big SUV's in my garage and I would love to know when gas will be 50 cents per gallon again. Let me know please.

Also, I'd really like to know what the "lies" were and who told them because I've seen a whole lot of evidence to support the original reasons for the invasion.

Finally TB, I looked over this site rather closely and have been unsuccessful at determining your ownership here. Until you can authenticate your position of authority, Evil Pundit and I will stay put. While I appreciate your invitation, someone's got to stick around here to keep you honest.

Actually it has Adam.

Thanks for asking.

I have to ask:

What is "neat" about this?

Neatorama was once a site where politics was left at the door. Once upon a time, a person could visit Neatorama and find all sorts of interesting things and politics was expressly verboten.

Guess times have changed, eh?

Having said that, let me ask:

I wonder if that Iraqi reporter would have attempted such when Saddam was in power?

If he had, then I wonder if he would have had his tongue cut out?

Would he have been placed in the wood chipper? Feet first? Or head first?

Would he have been bound and thrown off of a three story building?

Or would he have just disappeared in the night never to be seen or heard from again?

That darned freedom. It makes people do such strange things.

No, that reporter never would have done such when Saddam was in power. He wouldn't have had the courage.

Of course this reporter may not be smart enough to realize that without the steely eyed resolve of President Bush and the heroic efforts of the US military, he, along with 50 million or so of his countrymen, would suffer severe repercussions for such behavior.

Yes, tis neat to watch someone enjoy their their freedom of speech while lashing out against the very man who was key in helping secure it.

You answered 32 out of 33 correctly — 96.97 %

Not too shabby I guess.

Missed #27.

Yikes!

I sure am glad this guy wasn't my surgeon.

What happens to the socks that go missing from the dryer?

Authorities are working hard to get a leg up on the investigation.
