don't bother reading it. It is basically just a slam on wolfowitz and no more is really relevant to this. And you are right. Iraqi's know we use the thumbs up as an affirmative. And we really can't know either way what they really mean. But Wolfie takes it to be a statement of support automatically. I doubt he knows the customs in the arab world at all. I'd bet he tries to shake hands with people over there using his right hand. He's a very ignorant and pompous person.
I think they used this as a veiled attempt to flip us off. They know we will take it one way and they can defy us without any consequences.
