Bringing back Saddam's army

I keep tellin' ya, it's gonna be just like before, only all bombed out.

Oh yeah, and we'll have control of the oil.

Exactly where we wanted 'em.

Iraq's new government plans to use former members of Saddam Hussein's army in the security forces after the transfer of political control from the U.S.-led coalition, President Bush's national security adviser said Sunday.

"But the Iraqis want everyone to know, and indeed the Iraqi government continues to say, that while they want to invite some trained personnel back, they are as concerned as everybody that people with blood on their hands not be brought back," Condoleezza Rice said.

There she is!

No doubt the Iraqi people are just thrilled about this. We just stood in for the goons till we could replace Saddam and bring them back, giving them a little break from the job of raping and torturing and knocking down doors. But now.....theeeey'rrrre baaaaaack.

And in case you didn't know it, with the exception of doing the raping and torturing and knocking down doors ourselves, that's very similar to what we did in Haiti in 1994 and again a few months ago - we just shuffle the people at the top around a bit, and then set the old armed goons back in business as usual. Works great.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
