Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

Saddam: U.S. arms claims a joke
[...] Given the Iraqi track record, "it's difficult to comprehend - even begin to think that they might accept" the unconditional inspections, Rumsfeld said.

In Baghdad, Saddam scoffed at U.S. charges that he has been stockpiling weapons of mass destruction since kicking out United Nations inspectors in 1998.

"Such claims are something of a joke," Saddam told a meeting of the Iraqi Atomic Energy Organization. [...]
Saddam was then seen turning his head and giving an exaggerated wink to the assembled Organization members. Members of the IAEO shifted nervously in their seats and managed a bit of a chuckle. Photographs taken surreptitiously of the members' families were then displayed on a large screen and Saddam said, "All of your FAMILY members think such claims of stockpiling are a very LARGE joke!" At this point, raucous laughter was heard from all corners, and Saddam turned to son Uday and said "You gotta know how to work a room, my handsome, yet imbecilic, son."
