#1 Yessss.....more evidence of quagmire and the growing power of the oppressed-freedom-loving-people-who-didn't-need-a-US-invasion-to-spoil-their-country.

#2 I believe this shows more than ever the desperation of the terrorist insurgency. I mean, how many times have they attacked abu ghraib now? And with no real success. Sure, every serviceman hurt is horrible, but you know there's a new stack of dead jihadi's every time they pull these hairbrained schemes. And what is the significance of Abu Ghraib? Is it simply symbolic to them due to the "scandal" or is there some other significance?

#3 Oh and Bobby, not sure if you are a troll or being sarcastic, but what are you smoking? If a quagmire includes free elections, I'm all for quagmires throughout the ME.

#4 Bobby's cleverly employing sarcasm....jeesh. Phil B bashes him for a "cryptic post" on Chicago (the link was to the ChiTrib) and "Quagmire!" is taken at face value? Everyone have a cup of coffee...

#6 Sarcasm? On Rantburg? What *is* the world coming to? Next we'll be having snarky remarks.

All I gotta say is, if this is a quagmire, count me in! Quackmire, quackmire!

#7 Still alleged to inhabit the vast Iraqi mires by much of the American and European news media, the rare and elusive Iraqi Qwag has been hunted nearly to the brink of extinction.

THE GREAT IRAQ QWAG HUNT is thus established to help find the last of these endangered critters.

THE GREAT IRAQ QWAG HUNT is open to those who have photographic evidence of the possible existence of any Iraqi Qwag(s) that may still exist in Iraq.

THE PRIZE: THE HONOR of having actually taken a picture of a Qwag, or photoshopped one into existence, THUS PROVING that Iraq does indeed have Qwags in its mires. Successful pictures may appear on PAGE ONE of the New York Times or The Guardian (U.K.) Topless Qwags may appear on Page 3 of The Sun (U.K.) Any living captured Iraqi Qwags may be allowed to nominate Hillary Clinton at the next Democratic National Convention.

Iraqi Qwags are believed to look something either like winged nutria-like amphibious dwarf zebra chupacabras, or something entirely otherwise, but nobody seems to know for sure. They are often seen lurking in pictures of US military personnel waving their hands while surrounded by grinning children.

But there are many, many people who have staked their reputations and careers on them being there. So, HELP THEM OUT AND FIND THOSE QWAGS!

#10 It's not a quagmire. It's a Civil War.

#12 Wonder if RKB can point us to a decent Quag Hound kennel.

#13 You don't use hounds to hunt Quags. You use hogs.
