I'm awake Pop. The lower unemployment number is a good sign but how about the million folks who gave up on getting a job?

I am sorry for the difficulty you are havening maintaining your air of superiority old man.

You are the one claiming the 5000 year old war by a different culture similarity, not me. Now I am supposed to defend your position? Here is a clue: Things change in 5000 years.

Now you are claiming UK was not on the same side with the US??

led by the United States, alongside the United Kingdom and smaller contingents

You are the author of that history and this history:

"Iraq had not committed acts of war"

Iraq, however, said it had almost certainly shot down a US or British plane over the no-fly zone. "Our brave air defenses have fired ground- to-air missiles against the formation of hostile planes, forcing them to flee after one of the planes was almost certainly shot down," a military spokesman said.

The Secretary of State for Defense, George Robertson, said the allies would not be "intimidated" from policing the no-fly zones by the Iraqi leader, President Saddam Hussein. "They [the no-fly zones] are humanitarian in purpose and we intend to maintain them," he told BBC Radio 4. "What we are seeing now is a show of defiance, arrogance and essentially of weakness on behalf of Saddam."

The incident was the second this week involving missiles, and follows the attack on US aircraft on Monday in the northern no-fly zone, near Mosul.

When was that Pops? Hint: before 2000.

Who was predident then? Hint: not GWB
