If you can get just a little more oily they'll put a pump on you.

<< The Saddam statue thing itself seemed to have all the "sponaneity" of a Super Bowl halftime show, they just had trouble rounding up a big crowd. Aside from the network cameramen, of course. I'm sure the war marketeers
made sure they knew about it. >>>
That movie with the tank retriever pulling down the statue? Neat trick, eh?. Hired some Iraqis to set up mortars nearby, shoot at the actors from hotel rooms, pay the natives to look happy. Set big fires in the background. Make it kind of realistic.
That was SOME movie, some actors, some director.
l wonder how they managed to drive that tank retriever clear from Kuwait thru 3 of Saddams famous armies
and still have it working right.
