#4 I'm sure the team is in deed in mourning. Dogs are incredible animals ... more complex socially than even the great apes in some ways ... with senses we can barely guess at.

But then I'm biased as I share my life with half a dozen of them, have stayed up all night as puppies whelped, and wonder each time one of my spaniels scents a bird hidden 100 feet away or a Whippet overtakes a rabbit with a 50 yard head start ....

They aren't humans, and we do them no favors when we treat them as if they are. But there are real personalities inside those furry bodies. Wouldn't give mine up for anything.

#6 Right. And the Muslims hate all dogs because they are supposedly unclean. Saddam was noted for torturing and viciously killing dogs. One more strike against the RoP.

#7 Saddahm tortures dogs.
GWB has a Scottish Terrier sidekick.
What does that say?

We ought to let some of those Baghdad dogs munch on some of the Head-bowlers.
