Our "wrath"? We don't have wrath against enemy soldiers. It's strictly
business.

Yeah, I've heard that war is hell.

He's a meany all right. Personally, I think he ought to be shot.

You mean that's not a euphemism for killing? Sheesh! Slap my aside the
head!

Sounds like a good thing to tell the folks back home. I figure we're
doing a good job if we've reduced their effectiveness by 25%. In my
book, that would be massive. I've heard the same figure of 50% over the
past three days, yet they continue to drop thousands of bombs on them.
Something doesn't add up. Can you spell WAG and WT?

Should be "ARE consistent." I hate illiteracy. But anyhow, that's a
pretty funny one about my last name. You know how you can tell a
Frenchman? His armpits are sunburned: always has his hands up. I'm
actually Sicilian, so watch your step :-) When we came over on the boat,
the immigration people renamed Parisi to Paris because they couldn't
spell.

Should be "inside HIS." But anyhow, where might you find one of those
intelligent Iraqi soldiers? If they were truly intelligent, they'd all
be acting like Frenchmen, the way the Bush regime expected them to act
and are surprised that they don't.
P.S. You took my post WAY to seriously, and WAY to personally. I mean if
we can't laugh at something as funny as this war, something that could
escalate into the destruction of the entire human race, we might as well
go back to scanning, a hellish experience if there ever was one.
