no. because it is "Special to The Globe and Mail" :) i consider it to be very ominous. the bullseye just got a little bigger. "We don't have the ability, like a state, to import weapons, but everyone has his own gun at home anyway," Mr. al-Khazraji said. "We also have our faith in God, which is much more powerful than any American weapon." But Mr. al-Zurgani of the Shia religious council warned that the volunteers are willing and able. "If the Americans have foul intentions, then they have reason to fear us," he said. "We will all become martyrs for the sake of Iraq." -rose

In the long run, the administration's fudging of the WMD intelligence is a mere nitpick compared to their stubborn refusal to work on a timetable that might have gotten our allies on board with our war plans, their criminally negligent lack of postwar planning, and their blinkered acceptance of the delusional neocon view that the United States can unilaterally change the culture of the Middle East via military power. It's remarkable. I assume that George Bush and his advisors truly want to make America safer and the Middle East less dangerous, but at every step of the way they have followed plans that ensure almost exactly the opposite. It's the flip side of their domestic policy, where they have singlemindedly pursued strategies almost perfectly designed not to help solve the real problems the economy faces. I'm not sure there's been a president in my lifetime who so obviously doesn't care about the actual facts of a situation before he formulates policies. I wonder if he even knows? calpundit.com
