Farmers Almanack Question of the Day**
"How long can I keep leftover turkey and stuffing in my refrigerator?"
You should keep stuffing and gravy for only one to two days. Turkey should be fine for three to four days. If you freeze cooked turkey, it should keep for about four months.

Zebra 3 Report Question of the Day**
"How long can this Administration keep US Forces in Iraq?"
Well thats the question of the past couple years. And until something concrete is established you may have want to read this LINK on the "Our Main USA Informant, Mr. Curveball" who provided most of the Bogus Information on Iraq. T
This guy<Curveball> bullshit about chemical in Iraq is what prompted us into invading that country when we shouldn't have.
This is one of the pictures of where U.N. inspectors searched. This "now-abandoned grain handling facility" in Djerf al Nadaf, is where Curveball has said he helped install equipment on trucks to make biological agents.
On Feb. 8, 2003, inspectors found corn but no evidence of any germs."No threat agents detected," one wrote in his computer journal.
"You see about this Curveball....," said five senior officials from Germany's Federal Intelligence Service, in interviews with The Times that "they had warned U.S. intelligence authorities that the source, an Iraqi defector code-named Curveball, never claimed to produce germ weapons and never saw anyone else do so."
But did US intelligence listen or take heed? ha!
Curveball's information from the last six years was often vague, mostly secondhand and impossible to confirm, say the Germans.
"This was not substantial evidence," said a senior German intelligence official. We made clear we could not verify the things he said. He is not a stable, psychologically stable guy. He is not a completely normal person,"
But Hey Good Enough for us to head into WAR!
Curveball was the chief source of inaccurate prewar U.S. accusations that Baghdad had biological weapons, a commission appointed by Bush reported this year. The commission did not interview Curveball, who still insists his story was true, or the German officials who handled his case.
To nicely put it you could say bungling...., then again an average joe anybody could easily see it as intended corrupt miss-informingly, neglectful, and treasonous!
Such is that, in what was an investigation by The Times based on interviews, which show that U.S. bungling in the Curveball case was worse than official reports have disclosed.
Z3 Readers would know better,
but must we keep letting our leaders bungle us into WAR? And as I was wondering for how much longer can this mistake be played out?
<Originally post written in 2005> * <ed note: its April 2008 today>
The White House, ignored evidence gathered by United Nations weapons inspectors shortly before the war that disproved Curveball's account.
Bush and his aides issued increasingly dire warnings about Iraq's biological weapons before the war even though intelligence from Curveball had not changed in two years.
See, I have read that not only was the administration ignoring warnings of faulty information, but also that they had actually never even PERSONALLY MET CURVBALL?
Taking this "Loser & a liar" as a bearer of good Information and enough pertinent information to use to go to war on Iraq?... And we believed him
....What did you say his name was again......?
Curveball
As I said, at the Central Intelligence Agency, officials believed Curveball's account even though they could not confirm it or interview him until a year after the invasion.
ummmmm....STOPPPPP!
Did you read that ?
"No Interview till ?????.....After?
WHAT ?
And this bad info is all over the subject of accusing Iraq of having WMD and thus causing US to go to INVADE a country and ....
"NO!......" no interview! There was no Interview?
"Holy Stupid Governmental Blunder Batman"
They ignored multiple warnings about his reliability before the war, punished in-house critics who provided proof that he had lied and refused to admit error until May 2004, 14 months after the invasion.
After the CIA vouched for Curveball's accounts, Bush declared in his 2003 State of the Union speech that Iraq had "mobile biological weapons labs" designed to produce "germ warfare agents." Bush cited the mobile germ factories in at least four prewar speeches and statements, and other world leaders repeated the charge.
As I have previously referenced to HERE IN My M 77 blog report ...... we (USA) are the ones it seems, are using Chemicals in Iraq!
Hey! That is what this Joe is reading. You read it for your self!
In a telephone interview, Powell said that George J. Tenet, then the director of central intelligence, and his top deputies personally assured him before his U.N. speech that U.S. intelligence on the mobile labs was "solid." Since then, Powell said, the case "has totally blown up in our faces."
The Neocon agenda was to push for WAR and the "Show" was on
Curveball lives under an assumed name in southern Germany in a furnished apartment, and is taking language lessons,and heheheh!... he does not need to work! His wife has emigrated from Iraq, and they have an infant daughter. He has relocated twice because of concerns that his life was in danger. He is still watched closely.
Curveball could not be interviewed for this report. Germany's Federal Intelligence Service officials threatened last summer to strip him of his salary, housing and protection if he agreed to meet with The Times.
