Last month, the military assasinated - then displayed the bodies of - Saddam
Hussein's sons. What do you think?
"So, we've got Uday and Qusay. Now, how about the eapons-way of ass-may
estruction-day?"
*****Activity Director
"Now the Iraqis will love us, like they were supposed to in the first
place."
*****Station Engineer
"Super. Now, let's show those bodies to the economy and our problems are
over."
*****Systems Analyst
"I don't think [people around the world] ought to look at us with envy. It
really depends upon how [the] Nation conducts itself in foreign policy. If
we're an arrogant nation, they'll...resent us. If we're a humble nation, but
strong, they'll welcome us." -George W. Bush, 10/03/2000
