We give up already!

A lost Iraqi patrol, mistaking British target practice for the start of the actual war, tried to surrender to the astonished limeys. The British paratroopers sent them back across the border, saying "it was too early to surrender."

Too bad one of those "embedded" reporters wasn't with the paratroopers. TV news is now full of film of soldiers drilling in the desert, awaiting the order to attack. Desperate for something to report on, the journalists are busy doing up-close-and-personal features on finger-itchy troops.
