#3 Why does .com's "Short this dumpling." give me an image of Bill the Cat and an electrical mishap?

I am thinking he might need "electroconvulsive therapy." But it might be hard to schedule.

#5 note well - he called on Iraqi police and army to exercise restraint with the Iraqi people - thats the lead here, not the Americans. sounds to me like the Iraqi police are getting a tad too tough with HIS folks, and he wants them to leave HIS folks alone.

#6 A radical Shiite cleric who led two major uprisings against American forces in Iraq last year called for his countrymen to exercise self-restraint and avoid violence, according to a BBC interview to be broadcast Monday.

Translation: Now is not the time for this. Let Zarqawi continue to weaken the resolve of the American public with continued violence, and when the Americans withdraw due to overwhelming public pressure, then we will make our move against the Sunnis (and the Kurds).
