Knight-Ridder agency isn't known for optimism. They write off the new Baghdad intervention, before the first shots have been fired.

reminds me of when Homer killed a zombie Flanders after Bart and Lisa had awakened the dead after an incident in the cemetary

Lisa (I think) says, "you've killed the Zombie Flander."

Homer says, "He was a zombie?"
