File this under, "Huh?" It is being reported that yesterday presidential candidate Fred Thompson credited the recent improvements we've seen in the western Anbar province of Iraq to al Qaeda's corporate no smoking policy. According to Fred, I guess when given a choice between the 72 virgins or their smokes, these Iraqi's would rather fight than switch!!*I'm dubious. I can only hope that:
- a) this story is a joke, maybe from the Onion
- b) this is a parsed story, the full details of which will surface later, or
- c) the Israeli Intelligence has been experimenting on Iraqi nationals for years, and Senator Fred absentmindedly leaked their secret weapon for subduing the region (Marlboros)
*For those too young to remember the advertising campaign, and therefore unable to appreciate the stunning play on words employed - this old TV commercial, this, and this. Yes sir, that taste worth fighting for!! I only wish I had the ability to photoshop an Iraqi face into the ad. Remember you saw it here first.
