Chemical-biological kits are discovered in the abandoned camp of
the foe. Soon, oilfields will be secured and much-needed medical
and nutritional aid will start to kick in. Civilian casualties are
virtually nil, while serious harm is inflicted on the functionaries of
a tyrannical fascist party.
Of course, that's only in the north of Iraq.
Boy, what a cute fillip--"only in the north." Today's WSJ says Iraqi officials put civilian casualties at 653, and soldiers at 4,850. Even if you cut those in half to dilute any propagandistic intent, that's hardly "nil." But I suppose those casualties weren't "in the north."
Then there's this:
You can still meet people, too, who don't think that Iraq has any
genocidal weapons. The discovery on the northern front of clear
preparations for chemical and bacteriological warfare will not, I
suppose, make any dent in this self-deception.
And "coalition" forces have their chem/bio suits and gadgets. Does that mean Hitch thinks we're going to use chem/bio weapons? </FloggingADeadHorse>
I really, really, really, really used to like this guy. WTF happened? I don't even think the NY Post would publish something this daffy.
