"Avenger of the Bones"
2003-11-29
From Alaa, blogging at the Mesopotamian...
Yes GWB, though the visit was brief, it was very meaningful. We know that you have come, not as the President of an invading nation, but as the friend who wishes to renew commitment to our people, and as long as your intentions are what you have repeatedly said (and we don't doubt your sincerity), the land and the hearts welcome you.

It gives us pain that the visit is so short and that the masses cannot in the present circumstances come out to give you the welcome that you deserve, but the day will come, the day will come (God's Willing). Yes the day will come when the millions will come out to welcome the best friend that the Mesopotamian people have ever had, and he will be amongst the most devoted and allied people that America will ever have.

The bones in the mass graves salute you, Avenger of the Bones.

#2  Glad you got to this, Fred. It took an Arab to come up with "Avenger of the Bones". Instapundit Glenn, (Reynolds not me) with grasp of obvious, goes ahead and links muses aloud about the obscene nightmare at www.9neesan.com/massgraves/ being Alaa's vision here. Imagine this greeting in the mainstream media. Juxtaposed with bones. MoDo and Krugman et al would be apopletic.

#1  Thank you, Mesopotamian.

I'm sure the Times and the Post will be publishing this on their front pages soon, and the "mainstream" media (CNN et al.) will make this their headline story - any day now.

Waiting.....
