Wait! I thought Jesus' hand-picked President had brought freedom and democracy to Iraq! Of course I also thought he closed the rape rooms when he just put them under new management. :roll:

I wonder if this is in anticipation of a full-scale assault on Fallujah.

Not an unexpected measure considering the situation in Falluja. They're attempting to bring down insurgency forces in order to make way for democratic ellections. I don't think this is unreasonable. It will become unreasonable if they attempt to extend martial law beyond the scope of the operation or use it to influence or disrupt the election. But for now, martial law should help them battle the insurgency.

Long overdue. We've probably already jeopardized Iraq's long-term security by not doing it earlier.

Yes, but if we had, the libs would have screamed "Imperialism!"

No, we screamed "Imperialism" when Bush took us there in the first place. Now we're just shaking our heads and saying, "What a mismanaged clusterfuck."
