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

"Baghdad, Iraq…August 17, 2003—All 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.

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. (^:

I know they are, I just wish we'd hear more about it rather than the crys of "Quagmire" we keep hearing

Chances are that this good news will be ignored or under-reported in the mainstream press. Thank God for the "irresponsible, rumor-driven" Internet.

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'!"
