American civil administration in Iraq is having a shortage of Bright ideas. I keep wondering what happened to the months of "preparation" for a "post-saddam" Iraq. What happened to all these 100-page reports, where is that Dick Cheney report? Why is every single issue treated like they have never thought it would come up? What's with the juggling of people and ideas about how to form that "interim government"? Why does it feel like they are using the [lets-try-this-lets-try-that] strategy? Trial and error on a whole country?

I like the idea of buying a hand grenade on the street for a quarter.

Thanks for putting it back up. I had it on my favorites list until it went down and somehow it was removed - Interesting perspective on some things. It does kinda' make you wonder about several things. Like - Who, What, When, Where?

Is the guy legit or is it coming from someone's imagination in S. Philly? I think if there was someway any of this could be verified as factual it would have a lot more credence. It now appears to be much better written than I remember it being during the first days of the war - Command of English has drastically improved and the maturity level of the writer appears to be considerably older than earlier.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Silly Salam, the US and British war hawks just need some time that's all. After all it takes time to resolve conflicts and do investigations of allegations.
