This should explain it all
Disclaimer: I've just been banned in another forum for linking to a page with the word "rhymes with duck" on it, and since the Onion is only recommended for hardbitten cynics over the age of 4654647646546, do not ever go there or surely your eyes will burn in their sockets and you will die a miserable death forever and ever, and then lots of angry gnomes will jump up and down on your corpse for everer and everer. You have been warned.
P.S. I do often wonder why the US lavishes so much attention on Iraq which "may" have "weapons of mass destruction" (one of the most redundant media friendly phrases ever made), whereas N Korea has openly admitted restarting it's nuke program, and all kinds of other things which America seems anxious to police for the Good Of The World these days.
Sheesh, anyone'd think that Iraq and Afghanistan were something to do with huge abundant oil supply. But that would never happen in the World Of The Free [TM], would it?
