1. only "most" of the bodies were beheaded
typically, the liberal media focuses on the ones that were beheaded.

3. Well considering how many whoppers they tell us when they say
they have information, I'm somewhat relieved. Hey! That's good news! The military has no information!

4. Did you see the clips Jon Stewart
had on his show a couple of weeks ago? (See his site for archives if you're interested.)

First Bush says NOW we know that Iran is making the IEDs that are being used in Ira*q.
Then a General is asked and says, after a pause, no, there is no eveidence that is the case.

Classic.
