Brilliant :-) It's one thing for the strong to bend rules and do as he pleases because he can. That I can understand. What I don't understand is how people can believe his whacky justifications full of half-baked fabrications and plain simple lies. "Fly paper" indeed. Sigh.

I love the word "deadline". You think Powell will invade Iraq (again) if the deadline is reached and there is no Constitution? :-) Powell Gives Iraq 6 Months to Write New Constitution By STEVEN R. WEISMAN New York Times September 26, 2003 nytimes.com Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, responding to demands from France and others for a rapid timetable for self-rule in Iraq, said yesterday that the United States would set a deadline of six months for Iraqi leaders working under the American-led occupation to produce a new constitution for their country. The constitution, which would spell out whether Iraq should be governed by a presidential or parliamentary system, would clear the way for elections and the installation of a new leadership next year, Mr. Powell said. Not until then, he added, would the United States transfer authority from the American-led occupation to Iraq itself.
