"The order exempts the United States."

[RedEarth]

.....from Juan Cole........

Meanwhile, the Voice of America reports that the Bush administration will freeze the assets of persons or organizations that attempt to destabilize Iraq. VOA says:


President Bush has signed an order that allows the U.S. government to block the assets of any person or group that threatens the stability of Iraq.

The order exempts the United States."


.....as Juan Cole points out

Either the VOA copy writer is a little clueless or this person has a wicked, dry sense of humor.
