#1 As usual, the Iraqis are telling everyone what they want to hear. To the US, they tell us they love us, and to the French, they tell them that they love them. The Japanese and the Germans are quite definitely a different, better class of people.

#2 Iraqis know that Washington lied about WMDs, but..

Yawn. Any chance these Frogs will get a clue sometime soon?

#3 ...a Baghdad journalist: “[....] The UN, Europe, and France never had much credibility in Iraq, but they lost it all a year ago when they let Bush, whom we detest by the way, topple Saddam on his own.... Ingrait! Are all journalists idiots?

#4 They were trained well by Saddam to kiss butt. Given what we did with the Afghani teenagers in Gitmo and what we've received from the Germans and Japanese 40 years hence I suspect the Iraqis will have no trouble telling us what they think of us to our face. Then we'll know we've succeeded. Helluva way to find out you done good.

#5 Actually, I was generalizing a little - I suspect that Iraqi journos want to be respected by their global brethren for their sophistication. As we all know, sophisticates are easily identified by their disdain for GWB.
