"There was probably no way to know about the absence of Iraqi weapons." James Woolsey served as President Clinton's Director of Central Intelligence from 1993 to 1995. You can read the rest of his comments on Iraq and WMD online.

Al Roker, weatherman and host of NBC's The Today Show, wears and endorses Crizal Alize spectacle lenses.
My first OptiBoard signature was LensCrafters' Worst Nightmare ...next a photo of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld ... and then it changed again. Like many Americans, I owe all that I am to the influence of TV and the movie industry. The reasons that I have made over seventy posts related to or inspired by current events in Iraq and Afghanistan are probably the same reasons that the six widely acclaimed feature length motion pictures "Apocalypse Now", "The Bridge Over the River Kwai", "Lawrence of Arabia", "The Great Escape", "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold" and the original 1962 "Manchurian Candidate" are always somewhere near the top of what passes for a mind.

... a nickname I could have acquired during the days of pickup softball games at the summer playground, which segues nicely into my next act of public confession: I follow Major League Baseball, especially the St. Louis Cardinals and the Boston Red Sox. Born in St. Louis. College near Boston. I've seen the game played in the Seattle KingDome (since demolished), Dodger Stadium, SBC Park and Candlestick Park before that, the Oakland Colosseum, Fenway Park and of course, Busch Stadium. It's two weeks into September of 2004. The Red Sox are looking good for the American League Wild Card slot. The Cardinals have the best record in baseball.
