By Rik Reynolds, December 28, 2005 at 3:26 pm # Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Since Bush thought so highly of Ahmed maybe he’ll emulate him and escape from Washington in the trunk of a car. When convicted embezzlers are the best we can offer the Iraqi people as suggestions for leadership why should they listen to anything else we say? ? By the time Americans wake from their fear-induced catatonia this war will have destroyed both nations. Like Vietnam, the loss of Iraq will be blamed on the protestors, and the hawks will sputter and fume because we fought with one hand tied behind our back because they couldn’t use nukes. Oh, wait… that’s next. Our “liberation” of Iraq has meant only a change of oppressors. http://img290.imageshack.us/img290/134/tneednosteenkin g9cr.gif

However I wouldn’t doubt that some of the violence and more violence to come is not of his making/influence. I think the guy was really sure he would be a winner, particularly after his meetings with Washington recently. Wonder what those meetings were all about - the silence is deafening but nothing new.
