It seems that some of the "newly freed" Iraqis are stealing everything in sight not nailed down, and in some cases stuff that is. Looting has become so prevalent that there are now cases of vigilantism being reported, with citizens beating looters and shopkeepers shooting them. So much for civilization, eh? Meanwhile the Boy Deserter had this memorable quote:
...President Bush, in remarks to reporters, acknowledged the "chaos,'' but the administration's official position on the disarray was that, while regrettable, it should be seen as a result of an oppressed people suddenly freed...
I guess that after regime change here, on the 20th of January 2005, we can expect to see chaos as the result of an "oppressed people suddenly freed".
Chaos in the form of about a two-week party, and waving Chimpy nah-nah-hey-hey goodbye.
