<In Search of a Lost Cruise Missile – Three Tomahawk crashes in one week fuel Turkish paranoia.

And 5 in Saudi Arabia, some more in Syria and Iran.

But of course, if one is a True Believer, NONE of ‘em could have hit a civilian target in Baghdad. Nope. Iraqis blew themselves up. Just like a terrorist, isn't it. I mean, we all know terrorists love blowing themselves up.

Why wouldn't any of 'em hit an Iraqi civilian target, you might ask, Bunkie?

Because they are American? Damned straight, says the True Believer!!

Because they are precision? American technology, bigawd!

Because they are guided? Friggin' A!! See above, and also the cost.

Because Americans value civilian life so highly? That's a good one!!

Because the Pentagon says so? Rumsfeld wouldn't lie, would he? (His saying he would not lie wasn't even his FIRST lie.)

All the above, I’m sure.

And most of all because they were launched on the orders of a God-fearing American right-wing President. As close to infallible as you can come on this Earth. Even the Pope is wrong on this one, huh?

Yep.

It's interesting that the cost of these things is quoted at $750,000 each when they miss, $1,250,000 when they hit. Maybe they should buy the expensive ones.

Arf (a few chuckles, a snort or two, would be in order if it weren’t all true.)
