Yeah! That's the ticket! Maybe the Iraqi construction minister is really Larry of Arabia.

In case you haven't noticed in postings past, I have been aware since *before* the begining that the average bedouin nomad is smarter than Rummy and ALL of the neocons on mindmeds.

If you are insinuating that I think Iraqis aren't smart enough to blow something up without help, that's truly humorous. I also find this kind of sarcasm uninformed and tedious.

AND the winner in the *astounded* category: Your apparent belief that there ARE NO OUTSIDE FORCES AT WORK to destabilize Iraq in our interest.

What EXACTY do you think the U.S.HAS BEEN DOING in Iraq? Having a sunny day picnic? Liberating them from that evil dictator... ...You know.... whathisname.
