Did you ever post about the million or so Muslims that Saddam murdered? How about those who were tortured? Did you read about the chemical vats in which people were placed, to be eaten away by the acid? Did you read about the women hung upside down during menses naked for further humiliation after being raped? Did you read about UDAY's love nest and million dollar wine collection? Do you only read one paragraph on each page? Do you have cognitive ability?

Mr Lucky was not so plucky By JOHN KAY thesun.co.uk THE Comical commando Eric Walderman and his comrades fooled Gulf War II newsmen by pretending he had escaped death by inches when he was shot at while fighting Iraqis. In fact his Kevlar helmet was just lying on top of his pack when it was peppered by fellow Marines trying to hit an unexploded anti-tank weapon. Eric, 28, then popped it on his head and posed for photographers travelling with 40 Commando before they took Umm Qasr in southern Iraq. He gave no interview but he and his pals did nothing to stop journalists jumping to conclusions. The picture was beamed round the world with the amazing story of his miracle escape. Eric, of Fleetwood, Lancs, was hailed the luckiest man alive. And as a result of the publicity his son Danny, two, was invited to meet soccer wonderkid Wayne Rooney and his other Everton heroes. The Marines came clean when The Sun sought an update on Eric for our Gulf War in pictures commemorative special. A senior officer said: “I’m afraid the pressmen have been had. All commandos have a great sense of humour. Boys will be boys.
