    The U.S. presence in Iraq is hurting the worldwide war on terrorism and benefits only Iran and al Qaeda
    “This administration, including the president, has mischaracterized this war for the last two years ... So why would I believe the chairman of the Joint Chiefs when he says things are going well?”

    -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

      As the thread title suggests..

      This is not a thread to be informed about Iraq but to laugh at media who publish things when they're obsolete as steam power.

          Okay, how about telegraph?

            Really? From where to where?

            Btw. did you know that in the age of telegraph, the operators had a culture not unlike the internet culture? With special terminology, customs and so on. They even played games and supposedly formed relationships over the line.
