Some humour:

Experts with a newscaster on CNN 24th March

3 American experts including a former 2-star general from delta force, 1 ex SAS and the network's anchor:

Footage of Iraqis giving themselves up.

Anchor: We have no verification as of yet if they are British or American troops taking these POW's

American 1: Only Americans wear boots like that, they're American

American 2: I agree, and they appear to have American camouflage jackets.

American 3 (delta force): I'm not so sure, there's not enough up-close detail to tell 100%, we'd need some close images to tell make of boots and jackets and maybe the shape of their Kevlar headgear.

Ex SAS man: Call yourselves experts? Since when did US forces use an SA80 as a standard issue rifle? Their DPM's can be bought as can boots so you're chasing rainbows if you want to identify them from their clothes.

Anchor: I think you're right.

Ex SAS man: Course I'm bloody right. Any one with half a brain and basic military training worth their salt should be able to identify a British soldier by his rifle. Not to mention the fact they're covering all points properly, not shouting "woo yeah" randomly, and haven't raised a flag in direct contravention with orders.

At this point 1 of the yanks walks off stage tearing his mic off.
Anchor: I think we can safely say the soldiers on your screen are British. Now for these messages

Nicked from http://www.scoopfish.net, don't know if it's true or not.

TARIQ AZIZ CAPTURED

Sky News
US forces are believed to be holding Tariq Aziz - Iraq's former deputy prime minister. The report has come from a senior US defence official. The latest capture has been announced by the Pentagon.

Aziz is another of the "acceptable faces" of the regime it seems. I just don't get that, hes been part of the Iraqi cabinet for years and therefore involved in all the atorcities the regime are demonised for. Oh hang on, he's a Christian isn't he. So only Islamic murderers are evil.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Gotham City the hunt for Weapons of Miss Direction continues without success.

Good stuff

Now that the military part of this conflict is over, perhaps this thread could be merged into the first part of the thread in the Archive.
