Bush & Blair Admit Itaq Mistakes - SORT OF

President bush recently admitted he made mistakes in Iraq. Interestingly the two admitted mistakes are as follows:

1. Not using sophisticated enough language refering to his "Dead or Alive" comment concerning the capture of Osama bin Ladin. His "Bring it on" comment aimed at Iraqi forces was the other example the President admitted was a mistake.

2. Abu Ghraib.


Bush's first admiited mistake of antagonistic schoolboy bullying language seems to me, not to be a mistake in the War in Iraq but a PR mistake in the image of the Presidency and thus those aligned with the United States of America.

His second mistake, Abu Ghraib. Was the mistake the torture that was inflicted on the prisoners or was the mistake that the world got to see the evidence.


How about admitting the mistake of entering a war against the wishes of the United Nations on dumb intelligence refering to weapons of mass destruction that resulted in an unjust war responsible for


2464 American deaths
18000 - 480000 american injuries
37972 - 42346 Iraqi civilian casualties

Origin 1 - NSW 17 QLD 16

Origin 1 has come and gone and what a game. NSW were quite superb, I thought they played brilliantly. Willie Mason looked in a league of his own looking virtually unstoppable at a time of the game which is meant to be at its tightest.

QLD outplayed NSW in most areas of the game except in metres gaines(1527-1404) and offloads (16-2) and missed tackles (24-44). This can be put down to the NSW forwards who pretty much ran rampant as well as defending with a sting that I have only ever seen from the mighty maroons.

So where do we go from here? NSW were fantastic and I thought QLD lacked cohesion around the halfback, 5/8 position and no forward looked as though they were capable of taking the game by the scruff.

Sounds drastic but have no fear I beleive the rookies will play with more grunt now that they have a game under their belt. Thurston and Lockyer are two brilliant players, that will play better together in Origin Two. Sam Thaiday is our answer to counter attack bullocking runs by Mason so I would give Sam more game time.

Congratulation NSW you played above yourselves and QLD you have alot of improving left in you. With NSW playing above themselves and having the home ground advantage and smashing QLD by a whole point, I feel NSW was lucky to win so am confident QLD will take this 2006 series.

One last point. People are reporting that QLD is lacking in passion and don't have the same hatred as past origin generations. I tend to agree. The best way to deal with this scenario is, at kick off in the Melbourne Decider every QLDer should run up to their opposite number and punch the living daylight out of them. That would put the passion back into origin.


Tip for game 2 - QLD 28 NSW 0


Thanks everyone who attended Origin 1 it was great fun despite the result. Origin 2 is in Brisbane so will be at the game. Game 3 Wed 5th July will be at the same place this time with a digital projector.

Go Maroons!!

Unbelievable Skill or Hoax

Football World Cup is just around the corner. I have often heard that footballers are the most gifted athletes on the planet and after seeing this Nike Commercial you would have to agree. On second thoughts I reckon it is fake. What do you think ??
