(Note to literalists: the Watched column presently contains only a smattering of 'warblogs' because the facilitator of the template-change--Dr. Menlo--is not very familiar with them, and will be adding more as they are sent to him. Also, this blog may contain areas of allusion, satire, subtext, context and possibly even a dash of the surreal: wannabe lit-crits beware.)

WARBLOGGER WATCH
Tuesday, March 25, 2003
The hive mind appendage of the Bush war machine seems absolutely baffled to encounter manifestations of Iraqi national consciousness and hostility to an invading army. Who'd have thought it?! Certainly not Tim Blair, currently sending "freedom beanies" to hippies who didn't recognize last Friday's photographs of "dancing Iraqis" as unimpeachable evidence that the Iraqi people enjoy being bombed and are eager to take receipt of American-administered liberties of the sort omnipresent in postwar Afghanistan.
Blair shouldn't waste his stock of freedom beanies on the filthy hippies of the loony left. Guys like this fellow tapped by reporters in today's Wall Street Journal will need them too:
"At least Saddam Hussein gave us food," said Ali Ibrahim, a local government employee. "We had no food from the Americans. I'm worried that the Americans won't go away, just like in Afghanistan. We want water, electricity, and a guarantee from the United Nations that the Americans will leave."
Those beanies can be administered via World Vision Canada, presently soliciting donations "including summer and winter clothing (dark-coloured, for cultural reasons)." They'll need it, so donate often and early, Timmy! posted by Anonymous10:58 AM
