#1 Well all I can say is "ain't just too stinking bad."

I guess Iraq and the US couldn't see allowing troops from the bankrollers of foreign jahidi and a source of jahidi into Iraq to help stir the pot even more. Thanks but no thanks.

#2 As I recall, Saudi forces were found to be thoroughly infiltrated by Al Quada members and sympathizers. We don't need more of that kind of thing in Iraq, thenkyewveddymuch. Let them concentrate on cleaning their own houses, before they dirty ours.

#3 Incredibly stupid idea. Perfect response. This is the third or fourth time this shit has come up - Jordan made such an offer a month or so ago, just after a couple of their UN "contributions" went apeshit and murdered some unarmed US troops in Bosnia - shouting "Allahu Ackbar". Never heard how "The Hashemite King" resolved that little mistake, come to think of it. Stupidity must move in circles, since it gets repeated so often. The good thing is that Allawi isn't stupid.

#5 CP Abudllah has never been a friend of the US, or any non-Islamic govt for that matter. Over the past years and most recently in the "terrorist" attacks on Western residential and office facilities in the Kingdom, there were nearly direct ties back to SANG units (weapons, vehicles and uniforms-guard rosters, etc).

No thx Abdullah.

#6 The Arab/Muslim Mindset:

Ahmed: We are always accused of not helping our Arab brethren in trouble.
Mahmoud: True.
Ahmed: We should change this perception.
Mahmoud: How.
Ahmed: We'll offer to intervene in Iraq to protect UN officials.
Mahmoud: Err....
Ahmed: Don't worry, the Americans will never accept the proposal.
Mahmoud: How so?
Ahmed: Because we'll stress that we will not accept US command over our forces. They wont want us to come in under those conditions. They'll reject the proposal.
Mahmoud: And next time we are criticised for not helping our Arab brethren we can point out that we tried but were rejected!
Ahmed: You catch on fast, Mahmoud.
