Peeve Farm Breeding peeves for show, not just to keep as pets
Blog \Blôg\, n. [Jrg, fr. Jrg. "Web-log".

A stream-of-consciousness Web journal, containing
links, commentary, and pointless drivel.
On the way back from squash, the BBC World Service anchor said-- in a voice that denoted great momentous import-- that Iraq had just admitted to having tried to circumvent UN weapons sanctions.
Namely, they admitted having imported (or tried to import) aluminum tubes of the type used to make missiles. And they claim that they wanted them only for the purest and most innocent of civilian and humanitarian purposes. Of course.
(Not that this will have any effect on the strident calls for the US to get its greasy mitts out of innocent Saddam's backyard.)
Looks to me as though if Baghdad's bag of tricks is this limp and empty, then the days until real reckoning can well and truly be counted in single digits.
