I hope it is. Seeing the cheering Iraqis makes me happy.

2. You don't...

but you have to believe the government...
And you have to believe that OBL was the 9/11 mastermind...
And you have to believe that this is about "terrorism"...
And you have to believe that Bush is here to save us...

9. Nice hat

Gotta get me one of them. ;-)

Mind if I add to your list?

You have to believe the new Medicare will benefit seniors.
You have to believe Bush's tax cuts are good for everyone.
You have to believe things are hunky-dory in Afghanistan
and will be in Iraq, too, in just a matter of days.

But you don't have to believe the sun will rise in the east or set in the west tomorrow.

And you don't have to believe in Santa.

3. I was thinking the exact same thing.

I noted that the press went out of there way to show side by side photos.

4. And all those impersonators

Saddam had are where.....?

Since they were relatives of his, the DNA...assuming they could do a test that fast...would be close too.

Plastic turkeys are everywhere these days.

6. They must have some DNA test.

Hey, a little skepticism is healthy, but the Pentagon is not going to make a big spectacle over the capture of a body double.

10. pretty unkempt for a vain man, even for one living in a spider hole

can't believe that a man with all his resources would rely on a beard for disguise.
