ROFL!!! He's probably trying to print out his resume, getting an error and saying "No! Not again! Why does it say paper jam when there is no paper jam! I swear to God one of these days I'm just going to kick this piece of $%(^ out of the window."

New life for some after Saddam's rule
TECHNOCRATS PUTTING EXPERIENCE TO USE
By Sudarsan Raghavan
Mercury News

BASRA, Iraq - For much of his adult life, Dr. Yaseen Taher served Saddam Hussein. As an Iraqi military general and a high-ranking official in Saddam's Baath party, Taher was in charge of the doctors who patched up Iraqi soldiers fighting against U.S. and British forces.

That all changed Tuesday. Taher joined the enemy and launched a new life helping to rebuild a postwar Iraq. He came out of hiding after British military commanders spread the word that Iraqi military doctors would be spared from prosecution under the Geneva Convention.

As British forces tighten their control over Basra, attention is turning toward the postwar phase. Technocrats of the old Saddam government are becoming valuable assets for the U.S.-led coalition's goals of rebuilding poorly equipped hospitals and other rundown infrastructure projects to win the confidence of ordinary Iraqis.
