Yes indeed. That's why I said, "only a grain," don'cha know. Sorry I didn't specify the weight of the whole bag, but I assumed it would be understood that by "only a grain" I meant "very little (but not none)." > If you read the sentence it accuses the US of lobbing cruise > missiles into Baghdad on a daily basis. Do you believe that? How could I have said "only a grain" if I believed that? So actually there wasn't even a "grain" of truth since the original accusation was that US cruise missiles were being lobbed into Baghdad on a daily basis and referred to as suicide bombers. But the article you cited was a one time incident in 2003 and "may" have been a US fired air weapon, not a cruise missile. ************************************** Get a sneak peak of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
