Yaz, but then that was probably the reason why those certain supporters were also against the war - kinda works out now, doesn’t it? ;)

Make sure no one tells Praful Bidwai, it will just break the resident idiot’s little heart that his beloved Congress are still a bunch of crooks.

Niraj, I think he will actually be glad his beloved party was on the side of “Dear Leader” - I haven’t seen him feel sorry for any Iraqi civilians not killed coalition forces yet…:evil:
