I have just awoken from a dream.  Awakening and considering the dream, I realized that though the story would be somewhat long (hence the cut), it was necessary that I should tell it.  And so I shall )

My thoughts on Saddam's capture...

...But, joking aside, this was pretty much the only remaining major objective the administration has claimed they still had in Iraq.  Well, now it's accomplished.  So now, let's get the upcoming trial over with, let the Iraqis have their justice, hand over power to Iraqi civilian authorities, and GET OUT OF IRAQ before we overstay our welcome any further.

Oh, and while we're at it, it'd be a real good idea if we let contractors present their bids to the Iraqis and let the Iraqis choose what they want done and by whom, instead of awarding pork-barrel contracts to repay favors.  Only a US telecom company would be ass-stupid enough to plan to build Iraq a telecom infrastructure that's incompatible with every other nation in the region.

Matter of fact, the closest nation that it will be compatible with is eight thousand miles away.

You know ..... the US?

But then, it's not really about providing telephone service to Iraq, is it?
