Rick Brookhiser at The Corner:
A favorite moment of mine is the exchange -- although that's not quite the right word -- that occurred when Geoffrey Hoon, explaining the situation in the House of Commons last week, said that 'Umm Qasr is a city similar to Southampton...."
Getting word of this, a British soldier fighting for Umm Qasr felt he had to disagree: "There's no beer, no prostitutes, and people are shooting at us. It's more like Portsmouth."
