We yuropeans are more worried about the future of BBC. Sad thing to see something which actually have fought Murdoch eye to eye go where North Ireland, HongKong, Zimbabwe and now the little poodle has taken them.. Luckily Blair, although he already promised, decided not to attempt to join the yuro this year, to much to fix. (like constitutions, elections and much more, bless them) He also promised Bush would go all the way through the gates of UN so now it seems the rest of yurope should join Scotland and Wales in donating Westminster a bunch of chainsaws (to do the disconnecting butching) and some paddles (to get over the Atlantic) and some bananas (maybe they will be enough until the cayman islands). North and South Ireland will be happy giving some extra boost, a happy kick, when London passes by.

But the sheer amount of military and statistical detail coming from the Iraqi authorities is beginning to make the US Centcom information boys look like chumps. On Sunday, the Iraqi Minister of Defence, General Sultan Hashim, gave a remarkable briefing on the war, naming the units involved in front-line fighting – the 3rd Battalion of the Iraqi army's 27th Brigade was still holding out at Suq ash-Shuyukh south of Nasariyah, the 3rd Battalion of the Third Iraqi Army was holding Basra. And I remembered how these generals gave identical briefings during the terrible 1980-88 war against Iran. When we set off to check their stories then, they almost always turned out to be true. Does the same apply now? General Hashem repeatedly insisted that his men were destroying US tanks and armour and helicopters. This was easy to dismiss – until videotape of two burning US armoured personnel carriers popped up on the television screen ... >>> argument.independent.co.uk
