#1 This piece just ran in the Washington Post. They also included a section on how Shiites are protesting in Baghdad against US presence, telling the US to leave before they (the Shiites) force the troops out. This is troubling. What do you suppose is going to happen here? On a lighter note, the piece also mentions that monkeys at the local zoo were freed to roam the streets. How the heck are they going to find them? They'll fit right in with the local population. Some of them will probably be imams by next week.

#2 The huge cash cache is really butch! Dozens and dozens of large metal boxes neatly packed with wads of genuine US greenbacks, not the toilet paper called Iraqi dinars. Imagine how many more stashes Saddam and his goons have around the country.

Again and again, how come the Iraqi children were starved and medically neglected when things like this were commonplace? Oh, that's right, the pressure we put on the Baathists forced them to put aside a few dollars for a rainy day! If the nasty old US wasn't so gungho about enforcing the UN sanctions Iraq would just be another Switzerland. And everyone would have peace and fluffy bunnies!
