    It should be 100%, as the mobile WMD labs have been very well documented.


    The trailers of mass destruction are not bio weapons producers. They were for production of hydrogen for balloons.


    Really, you should get "well-informed" from something else than Fox Propaganda.

    More specifically, with sources:

    The 'mobile germ warfare labs' were, in fact, hydrogen producers for artillery balloons. Sold to Iraq by the UK. Oops.

    What's the betting this gets zero play time in the US media?

    Ah yes, very true. In fact, I see my post is at +1 funny right now, but give it a few hours. It's only a matter of time because it gets to -1 Flamebait.

    But who really cares? ;-)

    Mine has gone down to 0, and is now back at +3, where yours is also.

    The intent was to make fun of how Jobs might think, rather than provide a valid observation about Microsoft or even a kneejerk "MS sucks".

    There's a new kind of troll about. Read the above comment (cut 'n' pasted), and notice this line

    "I think it sucks Cowboyneal's Dick!" said Jobs.

    Somehow I don't think that that is in the original.
