#1 Phase I: The Iraqi Basic Carping and Whining and Mixed Signals advance team is up and running - while the Japanese have only just picked their uniform color.

Phase II: Advanced Carping and Whining and Mixed Signals in conjunction with We Hate Bright Green Uniforms and the Bite the Hand That Feeds You, Splodeydope Division, will be prepared well in advance of the Japanese actually reconstructing the water supply, or anything else.

No one has ever had the patience to make it to Phase III, whatever that is.

"We want (Samawa) to be a second Tokyo."

#5 Ship, you're on to something.

The Japanese should get a bunch of rakes, point the good falk of Samawa at the desert, and tell them to get busy recreating the famous Rock Garden of Ryoanji.
