Swiss Cheese

Some months back, George Bush, speaking of the sanctions then in place on Iraq said that 'The Sanctions regime is like a Swiss cheese. By which I mean... it's not much good.' I'm sure he pissed off many a Swiss cheesemaker with that one. I also reckon he regrets having used that line then, since it would be appropriate at the minute, since apparently the American establishment believes the 12,000 page Iraqi weapons dossier to be full of holes. Like a Swiss cheese.

Meanwhile, the hall is becoming emptier by the minute. I'm starting to feel like the old timer left in prison after all his mates have gone.

(Why do Australians call each other 'mate'? Coz that's what you call someone you share a cell with.)

Right, I'm off.
