I hope this is your brave face - never admit a weakness in public; always
emphasise your side's winning points...

I hope that in private you contemplate the points raised by Phil. It's
probably a bit of artistic licence to attribute what's happened in Iraq to
OBL's scheming, but that's rather irrelevant when considering the prospect
of an Iraq that's even more Iranian than Iran.
