UGHHH! Shocked
The Australian prime minister is on radio right now talking of a possible "grey outcome" from the UN in Iraq. Plus "rogue states", etc, etc ...
Who is scripting this man!? He's talking total gobbledygook!

"smoking gun"

Is it that someone is guilty because they've been caught, red-handed, with the "evidence"?

It depends on whether indisputable really means indisputable!

"rogue states": I think our prime minister actually used that one in his lengthy address to parliament today.

"shock & awe"
"packages"
"decapitation"

These spin doctors have invented so many ways to describe bombing the hell out of Iraq. So we're supposed to find it more acceptable that innocent people are "shocked & awed" by a "package"?
