Geography -

I have just learned something, as a result of a question I asked regarding an address.

The address was in Perth (and as I was working on an Australian problem) which I assumed was West Australia.

But because the problem was in Tasmania, I thought some clarification was in order.

Answer came back -

Yeah, its about 5km from Baghdad. And both are in Tassie.

Now THAT goes a long way to explaining the difference between Khaliljad's cable and Bush's impression of the war in Iraq. Come to think of it, I wonder if some of Tassies' Baghdad has been bombed in recent times, "by mistake" you understand. Man!! That would explain a lot!!
