Moderates are coming together to take back this country.
The rightwing's either going to have to re-define "liberal" as anything left of Pat Robertson, or start dealing with reality. That is, that while liberals will keep fighting them, it's the moderates who will end their Bushie revolution, and end it soon maybe. Could be all over in a matter of 2-3 years. Bushies will go down in disgrace as a failed and dishonest rightwing scheme and dream.

Baghdad Mosque Closings Spark Weapons Shortage .
.

scrappleface.com (2005-05-21)

Since Friday's announcement by a Sunni Muslim cleric that Baghdad's Sunni Mosques would close for three days to protest killings blamed on Iraqi security forces, consumers said they're struggling to find alternate sources for weaponry.

"My children and I stood on line at a back-alley dealer for seven hours just to buy mortar rounds," said one unnamed local resident. "My uncle just called and he's got one rocket-propelled grenade left, and has completely exhausted his family's supply of roadside bombs."

Indeed, industry sources report that the price of all kinds of small armaments jumped 73 percent within minutes of the announcement that the mosques would close.

"When you get an improvised explosive device at the mosque, you can rely on the quality," said one unnamed regular customer. "But a lot of the stuff you buy on the street is shoddy work that might send you to Allah before you get to the crowd of infidels. I think we're going to see a lot of second-rate martyrdom work until the mosques re-open."

Leftwing Washington Compost admits fabrications.

CORRECTIONS
A May 18 article incorrectly stated that former Army translator Erik Saar said in previous media interviews that guards at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, routinely tossed Korans on the ground. Saar has said there were "chronic problems" with the way military guards handled the Koran and failures to follow military procedures for respectfully handling the Muslim holy book when guards inspected cells, but he did not say that guards routinely tossed copies of the book.
