An interior ministry spokesman says the story is "stupid". Reuters doesn't have the story on its front page, but it's still under Top Stories here. Ho hum.

  • Meanwhile, in a galaxy far, far away...
  • The report, picked up the United Press International news agency, sent the U.S. dollar higher against other major currencies on the foreign exchanges. Is this the same United Press International owned by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon who was recently crowned "King of Peace" in the Dirksen Senate Office Building with his political supporters in attendance? The same Rev. Moon who somehow was allowed to make this address to Congress? The same Rev. Moon who is closely tied to the Bush administration? Not exactly a reliable source. More Moonanity here, here.
  • Sorry, didn't mean to sound snarky. If it's proved true this will be an interesting twist in a long, bloody saga. Thanks for the post.
  • if by, "true", you mean, "not really true"... and why do you hate our Messiah, shinything?
  • 'cause he ain't the Turkmenbashi.
  • Ia! Turkmenbashi ftagn!
  • If this war was realy, really about weapons of mass destruction then why didn't Bush let Hans Blix and the rest of the U.N. inspectors finish their work. Of course, the Washington Times is citing an Iraqi newspaper so it must be true. So the Bush administartion is covering up the fact that they found 3 nukes so the President's approval rating can sink and John Kerry can blame him for the bad prewar intelligence. It makes perfect sense in Bizarro World.
    Occasionally writer Siegel slipped up in his otherwise impeccable logic. In one story, Jimmy Olsen is brought from Earth and forced to earn his living on the Bizarro version of the Daily Planet, where an alien invasion only gets a filler on page 64, but "Dog Bites Man" is a headline. Then Bizarro-Lois asks Jimmy to take her to lunch...when, of course, she really should have taken HIM to lunch, with the usual footnote or thought-balloon that "On the Bizarro World, women ask men on dates". As Weisinger's one-time assistant Nelson Bridwell used to say, even the Bizarros' imperfections were imperfect!
    That "imperfections were imperfect" line does sound like Bushspeak.
  • Moon: "Satan is clinging to our sexual organs." MonkeyFilter: Satan is clinging to our sexual organs
  • Bashi: I am clinging to Sullivan's sexual organs.
  • I am clinging to sexual organs on the moon.
  • On the moon, our sexual organs are so advanced, you wouldn't recognize them.
  • It's clear to me that someone, pretty high up, knew that there were no WMDs (weapons of mass disappearance?) to be found. During the invasion there were no attempts made to secure the sites where the WMDs were reputed to be, and that action only makes sense if you already have prior knowledge that there is nothing there to secure.
  • In Soviet Union, sexual organs cling to you!
