The secret Iraq documents my 8-year-old found | Salon News
Microsoft Word's "Track Changes" strikes again. This part is my favorite, as it's the view I've related to others as to why some Iraqi civilians support the violence against U.S. and allied troops:

The various documents basically point out that the Administration hasn't a freakin' clue what's going on in Iraq.

I think they pretty much know what's going on. But they're counting on the average guy to not care enough to actually pay attention to what's going on.

I think it it a (suprisingly) successful tactic. The most surprising thing is that they are still counting on the average guy not giving a f**k about what's happening (thanks to the government their country elected) and these people are still carrying on with their lives, happily or deliberately oblivious...

Just vote for Ron Paul and he will bring the troops home ASAP.

I'm afraid I have to agree with vmarks' assessment in the other thread: There is no chance whatsoever of Ron Paul winning his party's nomination. You won't get an opportunity to vote for him, unfortunately.

Do they allow write-ins for President?

George W. Bush, the American President, meets with the Queen of England, Elizabeth II.
He asks her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give to me?"
Well, says the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."
Bush frowns. "But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?"
The Queen takes a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy. You just ask them to answer an intelligence riddle."
The Queen pushes a button on her intercom. "Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?"
Tony Blair walks into the room. "Yes, Your Majesty."
The Queen smiles. "Answer me this, please, Tony. Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?"
Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answers, "That would be me."
"Yes! Very good," says the Queen.
Back at the White House, Bush asks to speak with Vice President Dick Cheney.
"Dick, answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a child. It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?"
"I'm not sure," says the Vice President. "Let me get back to you on that one."
Dick Cheney goes to his advisors and asks everyone, but none can give him an answer.
Finally, he goes over to Colin Powell's room and asked: "Colin! Can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
Colin Powell smiles comfortably and said, "That's easy. It's me!"
Dick Cheney smiles. "Thanks!"
Cheney goes back to the Oval Office and to speak with Bush.
"Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It's Colin Powell."
Bush gets up, stomps over to Dick Cheney, and angrily yells into his face, "No, you idiot! It's Tony Blair!"

The Salon writer is a tool though. A dumb tool. His theory that Saddam's police not having their jobs is the main reason for violence is dumb. They were not trusted as policemen by Iraqis. If they kept their jobs there would have been vendettas against them anyway.
Salon writer ignores that the main contribution to the violence is Iran
http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,,2083387,00.html
Salon writer also doesn't question the validity and authorship of his magic Word documents. Any departmental monkey can write that stuff.
