Does this mean they'll be stopping for Baath Party members sitting on the curb?

"Baghdad, Iraq
August 17, 2003All Baghdad residents, regardless of social or economic status, have access to garbage collection for the first time in city history this week. The Coalition Provisional Authority in conjunction with the City of Baghdad is proud to announce the establishment of the first city-wide garbage collection system"Hmmm....will the idiots who insist that the decades-long buildup of garbage is the result of a thre month occupation believe this? Probably not.
Glad the system is up and running. Good work Engineers.

Now if we'd only start getting rid of the "real garbage" that is attacking our troops.You know they are, SAM. They don't boast about it because it isn't worth the backlash from all the terrorist-appeasers-NGO-press-pols.
Did you know we've 'removed' over 6000 terrorists in the European theater alone post-911?
This isn't the European theater. (^:

"Great victories come only to those who never waver
No matter how loudly the enemies of freedom may mock
Who see the path of duty, and follow it to the very end
God bless our President on this day
He will be known forever as 'the Liberator of Iraq'!"
