C'mon Ray, you know better than that. France, Germany, and Russia had
'deals' made with Saddam that they wanted to preserve.

It would have been more accurate to say, I'm not buying _your_ spin. But
what the heck, if we always agreed with each other only one of us would need
to post.

Come to think about it, what that understanding, next time you want to post
something negative about Bushy, let me know so I can tell you what to say.
That way we will agree with each other and only you need to do the post
while I take a nap.

Anyone with a decent photo editing program can enlarge it and see that the
text and Chevron logo were added.

Just in case you don't have such a program, I've put an enlargement of the
Condoleezza Rice text in alt.binaries.joker.

I know, I was just busting them. Beside you don't even
need thoes programs, just by one's own eyes one can see the logo
does NOT follow the shape of the ship.

It seemed obvious to me too, but the zoom makes it undeniable. ;=)

Another thing that makes me a little suspicious is the alignment of
the Chevron logo, and the bottom paint/waterline. Note that the ship
sets lower at the stern, but the logo goes pretty much horizontal to
the picture. Note also that it converges with the bottom
paint/waterline forward. My suspicion is that the name is also is
aligned with the Chevron logo, although that is harder to see for
certain.

Note there is a reference to the Condoleeza Rice tanker in
<http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/resume.asp>

Interesting...<g>

Kathryn,

Don't need it.

1) Chevron doesn't put their logo on ships. Not only that, but paint a
straight edge on a curved hull, and it would appear to be curved.

2) The luminance of the white in the lettering of Chevron and of the name is
50% brighter than the white paint on the bridge, and it's not the same color
white.

3) Note the big splotch of dark red on the bow below and right of the name.
It has pixellated square edges. Never saw a paint gun that would do that.

4) The word 'Rice" has what appears to be bleed-thru of the red below it.
Nope.

You explained that better than I could.

The pixellated paint guns sit right next to the buckets of striped paint in
the shed. All apprentices are sent after such things, ya know. <g>

You lost me on that one.
