#2 I think the debt issue is going to be resolved close to the lower number. Something about James Baker's briefcase makes me think that this will get fixed.

#3 For every Iraqi barrel that ships thats one less barrell from..............

Are there Iraqi grown ups that could make it happen or is it just a big car swarm?

#4 You guys are going to love this: I visit the Independent's forum on prospero. Was "discussing" w/some clueless LLL moonbat why I don't care that H got a no-bid contract, what were the people of Iraq supposed to do while the bidding process went on and how we needed to get them up and running ASAP.

His response - It wasn't important for them to get the oil wells repaired.

#5 A2U, what are you going to do? Remember when the Reagan admin was labeled as animals, near pigs, when they were reported identifying catsup as a vegetable for school lunch purposes. Everyboby knew the starving children needed real tomatoes.

So segway 2004, starving chldren aside. What do I hear? The "back room boyz" have conspired to reclasify a new "burger flipping" job as a manufacturing job. (get it, manufacturing a burger). Hey, must be true, heard it on ABC news. (on the half hour)

#6 reported identifying catsup as a vegetable for school lunch purposes
Still no tomatoes and still no bong. It was a good bong, a bong of bongs.

What?! The supposed real journalists have bought that one?! They must taste Kerry's blood in the water; maybe there are some more scandals in his closet?

Here's what they're talking about; it's on par with the whole National Guard lie.

#8 I haven't heard any reports about sabotage of the oil infrastructure for a while. Surprising. Maybe the security on the pipelines has increased, because I doubt the bad guys interest in sabotage has decreased.

#9 "I haven't heard any reports about sabotage of the oil infrastructure for a while."
This is prolly due to two factors coming together:

1) Payoffs demanded by tribal leaders who "protect" (read: don't sabotage / allow sabotage) pipeline sections / refineries in their tribal area

2) Education provided these tribal leaders that we don't DO payoffs, per se, we expect asshats to care about their country

There are prolly some (much less than originally demanded, I'm certain) funds being paid to go hand-in-hand with the threat that continued sabotage in a tribe's area would be ascribed to that tribe's leader... And that the frequency of sabotage and military night raids would be linked.

Opinions / thoughts / snarkies, anyone?
