An example of why we do not stand a chance in Iraq

Now how clueless can our leaders be?

Bremer also lashed out at the saboteurs blowing up fuel pipelines and wrecking electricity grids.


"Sabotage against the infrastructure, whether it's a refinery or the power system, hurts the people of Iraq most of all," he said and noted the attacks on pipelines and refineries had caused a shortage of diesel fuel.


"Saboteurs are enemies of Iraq and enemies of its people," Bremer said.

Now do you think that the average Iraqi getting out of his dark bombed out home in the morning thinks, "gee I wonder who my enemy is today?". When stumped they further think, "gee I bet my new colonial governer, of that country that bombed the crap out of my home, can give me some guidance."


On top of that it reminds me of some of the stupid things adults tell school children in an attempt to control them.

"you are only cheating yourself"

"Clowning around in class only hurts everyone else in the class"

That sort of thing.
