Dear Shrub,

Iraq's great! Nothin but flowers and candy and adulation! Wish you were here!

1. Where the "Triangle" ???

I always thought the "Sunni Triangle" meme was a rouse to make people think all the bad things were happening in a small part of Iraq.

2. The US really was popular in northern and southern Iraq at the

start of the war, but Bush made one mistake after another which led to the current horrible situation.

3. What you have to remember

is that 90% of Iraq is uninhabited desert. If you look at the map, the attacks basically occur ANYWHERE there are Iraqis. The Shrubery is fond of saying that 90% of Iraq is secure. It's secure because no one lives there.
