Why is it

that when the city of Atlanta had a gun buyback program, fat-ass Limbaugh the druggy was all over it as Stupid.

Now it looks like Chimpy is using our tax dollars to buy back weapons in Iraq. Maybe Chimpy will try midnight basketball next.


Iraqi Officials Plan to Extend Buying of Arms
By RICHARD A. OPPEL Jr.
and DEXTER FILKINS

Published: October 18, 2004

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Oct. 17 - A government plan to entice Iraq's biggest Shiite militia to turn in its weapons in return for cash here has brought in enough arms in its first week that Iraqi officials extended the program on Sunday and said it might be spread to other cities.

The cooperation with the buyout has raised hopes that the militia's leader, Moktada al-Sadr, would continue his turn toward entering the country's democratic process.
