Ever Punctual

Peter Jennings on ABC mentions that it takes around 90 minutes for a Tomahawk Cruise missile to fly from the Persian Gulf to Baghdad.

The first missile strike in Baghdad was reported by CNN at around 21:30 EST tonight.

I've always considered this obsession with punctuality to be another indication of a man possessed of shallow, trivial virtues. How very like the Shrub to have his showdown at the Iraqi corral tick down the clock with such banal precision.
