#1 This is a test. If this had been a real war, there would now be no one alive in Iraq. In the event of a real war you will be advised to breath easier but show no outward sign of jubilation or triumphalism. This is a test. We return you now to your regular posting.

#4 14 out of 16. I must be too literal.
Iraqis welcomed our troops with bullets, IIRC. LATER, in Bahgdad, we were cheered (by some, anyway).
Resistance started the same day we invaded.
Like I said, too literal.

[cue Control Voice]

There is nothing wrong with our ability to kick your whiney Islamic ass. Do not attempt to interfere. We are controlling the situation. If we wish to kick it harder, we will go all Medieval. If we wish to kick it softer, we will only open up a six-pack on you. We will control the duration. We will control the intensity. We can roll you up; make your eyelids flutter. We can smear you into a soft blur or sharpen your pencil with a machete. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will beat on you until only your hair doesnt hurt. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with you that a prolonged ass-kicking cant cure. You are about to be on the receiving end of a major smackdown. You are about to experience the shock and awe which reaches from inside our missile silos to Tehrans city limits.

#6 *giggle* Clever, Zenster.

13 out of 16. Resistance was planned by Saddam Hussein and his henchmen even before the invasion began, but there aren't any points given for that.

#7 14 out of 16, but I was confused and/or helped by reading some of the comments here.

Too bad we can't get Harry and Nancy to take it, with automatic electrodes for an incorrect answer.
