#1 we are soo losing the propaganda war. This is IMHO, the Bush administration's biggest tactical error.

Mad cow? How about some reports of all the schools and aid we are giving? Spirit of America? Why is it getting as little media play there as it is here?

Come on guys! Whose in charge of pscyh ops?? Maybe it's time to find somebody effective.

#2 B, for me the summary gave me more of a sense of how Iraqi life is filling out. As an American, my picture of Iraq is that there is nothing else going on in the country except Najaf, Fallujah, Al-Sadr, Iranian/Syrian infiltration and that UN loose cannon spouting inflammatory statements at random.

#3 seems similar to the Israeli flag, which has two blue lines representing the Euphrates and the Nile, a white background, and a religious symbol.

LOL. This is a slander based on the false claim that the Zionists wanted a state "from the Nile to the Euphrates" In fact the blue stripes on the Israeli flag are based on the design of the traditional Jewish prayer shawl or Tallit.

Of course that was in a Saudi paper,published in Londonistan, not an Iraqi paper.

#5 Sadr warns US of âhell fireâ

Odd, I'll bet we have just such a thing loaded up and with Tater's name on it. C'mon out, we'll show you.

#6 eL, I don't think this diatribe would even register on a spittlemeter calibrated for use with NK bromides.

#7 BTW, from everything Ive read the Iraqi Communist Party has been about as consistently supportive of democracy in Iraq as anyone. They suffered terribly under the Baathists, and are now pretty much "post communist" They are firmly secularist though. which in Iraq is a very good thing.

#8 LH, maybe they are followers of Proebrazhensky. If the party gets in power, the strongman will purge them and implement a 5-Year Plan. :-)
