New Year, New Game. And this one's called TWAT spotting...as in The War Against Terror....clearly someone in the halls of power is aware of this acronym (which is so fucking appropriate) as you often see the 'the' dropped off it or referred to as the 'War on Terror'....anyway, heres some examples from the web....

"The 3rd question has to do with the title, TWATism" Noam Chomsky.

"In his forthcoming book, TWAT, Bobbit reflects on a new definition of warfare"
University Texas Austion

"some have argued that confronting the treat from Iraq could detract from TWAT"

"they're building a nation fully joined in TWAT"
President Whorebeast

...perhaps it was funnier in my head at 0530 this morning, never mind.

On a more serious note, and staying with Iraq, how come noone gets upset about the Downing Street Memo anymore. Just in case you've forgotten, this is the one where Blair was told that the US was cooking the evidence for WMDs. This still amazes me....the enormity of the lie is incredible. Heres a final factoid before I bugger off, the cost of the war to the US has been 204.4 billion dollars - thats a lot of money.
