"We'll see you tomorrow if Good keeps us alive"

The interesting thing about this is not only that it's a weblog from someone living in Baghdad, which gives another side to the current war stories, but also because this particular weblog has gone from Blogspot - meaning that it's been removed from the server (thanks to Google for archiving things as it surfs looking for sites).
Now, Blogspot is a US server, so I wonder if this means that US servers are editing content, if they have been required to do so, or if this particular blog was stored on a local (Iraqi) server which has been removed, shut down, or destroyed.

Update

The site is now back up and running again

I was a little surprised that the US didn't jam or bomb the TV broadcast of Saddam Hussein (or his double) last night.

Ride in on the beam ... and kablooee!

These are bad times friends, bad times.

Bet UPDATE

Say, do you remember the status of our bet?

Was it 10 quid or 20? Also, since the war has now officially begun on 19 March, do you win or I?

I seem to remember it was the first quarter of the year or somesuch timeframe.

If I've won, please donate the proceeds to a rebuild Iraq charity. If you've won, please let me know where I can send the cheque.

I was going to post somehting about this today, as apparently troops have now crossed the border, which was certainly my criteria. Shame, really - just when you start giving humanity the benefit of the doubt, they just go and prove to you what fuckwits they really are.
Still, the bet criteria was double or quits on the previous £5, meaning that if I'd won yo'd owe me £10, and if I'd lost you'd owe me nothing, so you indeed owe me nothing (the cut off date was April 7th, IIRC)
Still, this'll teach me to quit when I'm ahead, and at least I have the moderate conciliation of having been right for 9 months...
