#2   for alliteration purposes if not reality purposes, the title should be "Iraqi Irrelevancies"

A point, dear Ebbinert Phomogum7876, and one I'd considered. :-) But whereas war is the dance of death, these actions aren't quite irrelevant. Even my poetical impulses must be that much constrained by reality here.

But it just now occurs to me as I type this -- thank you!! -- that Misc. Iraqi Relevancies will do very nicely indeed for repeating sounds, and wonder that it had not occurred to me before. Hopefully I'll be able to use it for tomorrow!

Ta da dum, da da dum, da da dum pum pum...
