visit there unannounced? I always get the feeling like they're sneaking in with their tails between their legs. "Yep, everything looks good here. Now get me the hell out!"

2. They are always sneaking in. It's the only way they can go.
One radio news story (ABC, I think) used the word "sneak" to describe how Rummy went there recently on one of their unannounced visits.

What the hell have we come to when no administration officials can go anywhere in the world or the USA without a) sneaking in under cover of darkness or b) facing massive protests when going announced?

6. Liars, thieves, and sneaks
There isn't a whiff of honor amongst this crowd, the better they lie, cheat, steal, and sneak the higher up they go.

7. why has over a million people left iraq in the last few months?
the murder of the educated class in iraq ,although nothing close to pol pot`s carnage, is staggering considering iraq was the most advanced country in the middle east in 1991.
