#1 Ya know, as much as I admire the Kurds, I hope the ones helping us over there have gotten very careful lectures about the laws of war. Given the way the Baathist government treated them, I can easily imagine them wanting to get revenge on its heartland.

#2 Now I'm confused. The American snipers are shooting kittens and the Kurdish ones are shooting the ducklings? Or is it the other way around? And who gets to shoot the bunnies? And do they always use mosques for snipers nests or do they sometimes use clinics and preschools? The mind boogles!

#3 And they're shooting little puppies and baby bunnies and baby quails......

#4 I'm a big fan of puppets. Are they going to have parades?

#5 Are we sure it's not Israeli snipers disguised as Kurds wearing US uniforms?

#6 Boy, we better let Al-Sadr fire up his newspaper and set the story straight for the millions.

#7 How many have they killed? I want to know if they're any good or not.

#8 It's time to pull a Stalingrad on the Iraqis. Line up every damned artillery piece we can find, line 'em up ten deep, axle-hub to axle-hub, and just start shelling until there's nothing left. MAKE SURE THE AL-JAZ REPORTER IS IN FALLUJAH AT THE TIME, AND HAS AN OPEN LINK TO QATAR. I want him to give a running account of the receiving end of the carnage. Maybe the next bunch of raving lunatics will have second thoughts.

It's worth a try - nothing else seems to get their attention. And at the same time, somebody give Chalabi a chin-whiskers haircut.
