This is funny, had to share. To: Neocon who wrote (42406) From: e-Bill Wednesday, Oct 4, 2000 11:01 AM ET Reply # of 42431 Next time he is asked about foreign policy, he should tell this joke: A squad of American soldiers was patrolling along the Iraqi border. To their surprise, they found the badly mangled dead body of an Iraqi soldier in a ditch along the road. A short distance up the road, they found a badly mangled American soldier, still barely alive, in a ditch on the other side of the road. They ran to him, cradled his blood-covered head, and asked him what happened. "Well," he whispered, "I was walking down this road armed to the teeth. I came across this heavily armed Iraqi border guard. I looked him right in the eye and shouted, 'Saddam Hussein is an unprincipled, lying bastard!" He looked me right in the eye and shouted back, "Bill Clinton is an unprincipled, lying bastard!" We were standing there shaking hands when the truck hit us." Message 14509722

Oracle Affirms Strong Outlook REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. (Reuters) - Computer software company Oracle Corp. (NasdaqNM:ORCL - news) on Wednesday said it sees strong sales and earnings in the current fiscal quarter and the year ahead, reaffirming comments made to analysts the day before. ``There has been no change in the outlook for Oracle's financial results in the current fiscal quarter and its full fiscal year,'' said Oracle Chief Financial Officer Jeff Henley in a statement. Henley said the coming year is ``going to be a terrific year,'' as Oracle's database and application software revenue is expected to grow faster than in its previous fiscal year. Henley also said the company expects its total services growth rate to be ``sequentially higher'' each quarter in the upcoming year. He said the company's e-business transformation continues as planned, and should help expand Oracle's margins significantly. Oracle shares had been under pressure all day on Wednesday based on what Oracle called ``erroneous'' reports that the company had issued a sales or earnings warning during its analyst meeting. Immediately after Oracle issued its statement, company shares were up 3/16 at $69-11/16 in heavy trading.
