The ability is almost magical
As usual, American officials insist that they saw this coming, and were prepared for it. Just like those cancelled Iraqi elections. They knew they were going to have to cancel them, but they planned em anyway. I guess its all part of the plan, in the spirit of the motto of this years San Francisco Gay Pride Parade: "You Gotta Give 'Em Hope!" (talking about Iraqi elections. although with all this freedom going around, maybe the US elections will be cancelled because, who knows, polls might show Bush losing to the "rejectionists, islamists, and Baath/Democratic party holdouts").
"We want to send a message of `don't mess with us,' " said Lt. Col. Aubrey Garner, commander of the First Battalion, 68th Armor, which is part of the Fourth Infantry Division.Yes, Aubrey, there is a Santa Claus. Yes, Aubrey, the Iraqis are certainly getting the message. 63 Soldiers dead, and counting.
"They will see that we have the flexibility to bring firepower" wherever and whenever, he continued. "The ability is almost magical."
