it could be ginger ale or tea, I don't really know. I think the caption should have clarified so there'd be no second-guessing.

Apparently, a spokesman for the administration just admitted in Britain that the US will attack Iraq whether or not inspections reveal anything. The spokesman was the Sr. aid to Bush................check the Guardian for any stories. I heard this last night on a radio show......that source is quite good so I would expect it's a true story. Here is a tidbit about another of Bush's plunders: Bush's Favorite Goons-For-Hire Posted on November 25, 2002 @ 11:51AM Guess who is guarding Afghan president Hamid Karzai? Not a few good men from the U.S. army. Not any more. The special forces bodyguards who saved Karzai's life earlier this year have been replaced by Uncle Sam's favorite rent-a-thug: DynCorp. DynCorp employees are best known for running a sex ring while on duty for the United Nations in Bosnia. According to a lawsuit filed by one of their own, " (Ben) Johnston witnessed coworkers and supervisors literally buying and selling women for their own personal enjoyment, and employees would brag about the various ages and talents of the individual slaves they had purchased." Some of the employees videotaped the rapes, which sometimes involved girls as young as twelve. DynCorp was also one of Dubya's biggest campaign donors in the 2000 elections. The company was recently awarded a $31 million contract by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency to help halt the spread of weapons of mass destruction. No doubt Dubya will find plenty more for DynCorp to do in Iraq. I also heard that there are still at least 12 Al Quada training camps operating in Afghanistan. They are still turning out trainees. That story will be carried by Newsweek in the near future. Pat
