Dear Diary

This morning I arose, rested and refreshed, secure in the knowledge that some Americans -- either pulled from the National Guard where they had expected to serve a weekend a month and a month a year, joined in close league with overpaid Blackwater mercenaries who might be looking to diversify their operations into more lucrative activities before too long -- made it possible for me to gather up my little band of opportunists to go off shooting and looting enemy tribes. It was, if you will, an awakening...the Anbar Awakening. Thank Allah for the U.S. military-industrial complex, and Allah bless Jean McCain't twice.
