I'm thinking of vacationing in Iraq this year
After all, Peter Pace said that things are going very, very well there:

Asked how things are going, Pace said: "I'd say they're going well. I wouldn't put a great big smiley face on it, but I would say they're going very, very well."

1. If things are "going very, very well"
the why did a family friend just find out he's going to be deployed to Iraq in July? :grr:

5. Be sure to visit the "Iraq Living Civil War Museum",
You can't miss it. It's basically everywhere you look.

11. Yes, he said William Buckley should walk the streets and talk
to the people (Buckley wrote an article saying we had lost the war there). When Tim asked him whether he really thought it was a good idea for Buckley to walk the streets of Iraq, Pace said, "Well, not without an escort. I wouldn't go without an escort myself." So much for souvenir shopping in Baghdad.:freak:
