Terry,
How is things in the land of my ancesters? Probably been over 300 years since some of them sit in the House of Commons. Me thinks you give the CIA way too much credit. Probably true we have agents in a lot of places, I really don't know but probably pretty accurate. And it probably gets read the wrong way some times but that can happen anywhere in any situation.

The polls here do show most people are unhappy with the Iraq conflict but also know it may be the lessor of two evils. And while some of the "Canidates" may speak of bringing the troups home very quickly reality is a great equalizer.

Obama by a mile? Well I can't say for sure but there was an Astrology write up in a Astrology Magazine a while back that gave Hillary the nod. Could still happen. We don't even know who will be the democrat nominee yet.

Who are the Froggies?
