THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
has gone to war....on T.V.!
do you realize that when pentagon spokes person torrie clark had a lightbulb go off
(was that a ford idea?) and mid-wifed the birth of the embedded reporter-that the 5th estate
and the american federal government got married?
They Got Married! and they are honeymooning in downtown baghdad!
and they have invited the voyueristic american public along for the ride.

if judge rehnquist in full wwf regalia can declare the next president of the united states of america-then certainly we will see tommy franks dressed as the iron sheik declaring:
"iraq is free! iraq is free!
sometime in the very near future....
