RE: Your mention of "all the poppycock about Saddam's titanic arsenal"
Robert,
Just wanted to reassure you that I find nothing at all humorous about this phrase.
Soberly,

Well, I'm more literal than most so I'm trying to define the joke but all I see is an alliterative play with:
popping
poppycock
Saddam's
Enormous
Package
Am I on to something here . . .

I was wondering if this was John's Finnegan's Wake moment - metaphorical allusiveness, brilliant no doubt, but nonetheless requiring explication?
