Hearts And Minds

Some Iraqi refugees have been providing food to the Marines. I particularly liked this little bit of understatement:

Khairi Ilrekibi, 35, a passenger on one of the buses, which broke down near the marine position, said he could speak for the 20 others on board.

In broken English he told a correspondent travelling with the marines: "We like Americans," adding that no one liked Saddam Hussein because "he was not kind."

Thanks.

Now, let's just hope that food wasn't laced with some kind of delayed-effect poison.

That's the problem with dealing with a bad guy like Saddam--you tend to get paranoid, which is just what he wants.

Did Khairi say "was"?
