WAR MAKES HEROES:

Sex symbol in the White House (Telegraph, 3/25/2003)

He's currently working hours the rest of us have nightmares about, but there is consoling news for Ari Fleischer. The balding White House spokesman, Spy hears, has females the length and breadth of the States a-swoonin' with his no-nonsense specs and straight bat denials.

You don't believe me? OK, well here goes with some comments on the new Ari Fleischer internet fan site: "Some people don't understand how a hot blonde 24-year-old NYC girl could have such a major crush on Ari Fleischer - but I DO!!" writes one groupie. "I think it is so cool the way he can walk into a room full of press sharks and completely control the room and never ever flinch."

Yeah, Ari's OK, but what about bloggers who fearlessly face their monitors and completely control their living rooms?

AND EXPOSES ENEMIES:

US defeat in Iraq 'inevitable' (News24, 3/26/2003)

The United States does not have the military means to take over Baghdad and will lose the war against Iraq, former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter said.

"The United States is going to leave Iraq with its tail between its legs, defeated. It is a war we can not win," he told private radio TSF [in Lisbon Tuesday evening]....

"Every time we confront Iraqi troops we may win some tactical battles, as we did for ten years in Vietnam, but we will not be able to win this war, which in my opinion is already lost," Ritter added.

I wonder if he's still getting Iraqi money. Posted by Paul Jaminet at March 26, 2003 3:33 PM
