To The Editor: Did an American general's recent mocking of an Iraqi leader mishandling a weapon and wearing Keds plumb the depths of pettiness?
First, the gun was American -- not Iraqi -- one American troops need weeks to handle well, and an older version prone to jamming.
More importantly, what if he's indeed clumsy? So what!
If it turned out Napoleon cut himself when unsheathing his sabre while wearing flip-flops, how would that affect his military prowess?
Somehow, this klutz with his vastly outnumbered and outweaponed raggle-taggle crew (Rummy's "dead enders") is holding at bay the greatest-ever military power -- including smug General "Smirks."
Is emphasizing picayunish trivia (redundancy?) meant to overshadow enormous failures like Osama still uncaptured and electricity, water and security below prewar standards? Pathetic!
Does foul-mouthed draft-dodger D. (Look out! He's got a gun!) Cheney still claim energy conservation is a dilettante's vision? Pathetic.
Has the insufferable Rush Windbag retired the hypocrisy championship award?
After continually ranting about wrist-slaps (Hard time? Never!) to white-collar druggies, Rushie used prescription drugs illegally for years, earning a finger tap.
The draft-dodging fraud doctor-shopped thousands of oxycontins; rather he gutlessly forced his maid to collect them. Pathetic!

Al Zawqari is an "Iraqi" Leader?
By "holding at bay," I take it he means "being regularly interdicted, harrassed, and slaughtered at the hands of." Certainly the number of "insurgent" bodies collecting in the streets of Iraq is hindering our troop movements, and the smell is not exactly midnight at the oasis. But it gives the garbage collectors something to do and feeds the stray dogs.
... and the pigs a place to poop.
Where is the bunny with a pancake on its head?
Joseph Haley is a typical, pathetic, liberal moron.
Well, actually, "yes". They published one of mine a few days ago.
Unfortunately, this is fairly typical of a lot of them. The Left is almost totally unhinged about President Bush and the War. There is definitely a segment of the population which insists on airing their rabid pathologies.
Feel the power of HATE.
I think it is safe to say that every community has its own share of moonbat goofballs who are full of rage and hate and writing letters to the editors ad naseum is their way of releasing their frustration..
This "Iraqi leader" beheads civilians and targets marketplaces with his bombs.
This letter writer is a violent twisted sick scumbag.
He no doubt also thinks of Joe Stalin as a "Soviet leader"!
