#1 Could be the fact that there wasn't much of an army left to fight had something to do with it, too.

#2 Their pride is hurting because they fought Saddam for years with nothing to show for it except heavy losses, and then we brought Saddam down in a few weeks. Such a mystery. Gives them something good to think about.

#3 This is exactly what one of the ME commentators said Thursday. If you have DISH, check out worldlink TV at 9410. I think this program's on about 12:30 AM CDT. Very interesting perspective.

#4 Achmed!, We fought Iraq for 8 years lost half a million men and only moved about 10 miles into iraq. The infidel Americans fought for 3 weeks and captured the entire country, losing less men than were killed by a washed up 80's band in a small night club.

Perhaps we should send the infidel american ambassador a fruit basket and an invitation to this weekends ice cream social so we might become better friends. We'd better do that before they take a right turn out of Bagdhad and kick our sorry asses all the way to islamabad.

and by the way, take down those damn "America is great satan" billboards on the highway, those things are gonna get our asses burnt big time.
