B.racing (for) B.ad C.overage

my queasy stomach is trying to tough out this annoying "correspondent" from the BBC who uses the phrase "short and sweet" to describe the strategic aims for the U.S. imperialist (yes, i'm calling it as i see it!) invasion of Iraq. who the hell can really describe war as being remotely related to anything "short" and "sweet?" invading another country is far removed from being just a little jaunt through the city center to pick up baguettes and a tall caffe latte. as the U.S. drops weapons of mass destruction on baghdad, i really wonder whose taste buds are savoring these "sweet" little bird droppings from the sky. war is neither "short," nor "sweet." discuss amongst yourselves.
