"Cub Driver" wrote in message ... Reuters in its wire story confirming Saddam's capture said that this would be a great boost "for the beleaguered occuation forces." Beleaguered? How about that for revealing an agenda? From yourdictionary.com: 1. To harass; beset: 2. To surround with troops; besiege. ~ 1. Maybe they meant from the media, etc. 2. They got it backwards, as usual. Understand Saddam was "beleaguered" by over 600 troops. Curt

Actually the "coalition compound" in Bagdad gets fairly close to the image of a beleaguered fortress with fortified walls. (Psychological mistake IMHO, though understandable from the point of view of security.) -- Emmanuel Gustin
