Ultra-Modern Public Services

For those who say that the occupation of Iraq didn't come up with brand-new infrastructure facilities to the liberated Iraqi people, for those who whine all the day and night about the lack of public services of Iraq after 20 months of occupation, for those who believe in avant-garde solutions for new trends in supplying Iraqi houses with Oil, ehhmmm, directly...... I have good news for you!

When I visited Az-Zubair town (near Basrah) last year, people didn't even have water or electricity. Now, they have crude oil all over the streets!

Some of the news are claiming the real story is that the oil leaked into the town from a nearby pipeline that was damaged by attackers today, creating an Iraqi-Style flood. But this is just some anti-Semitic propaganda, no no I mean, saddamist baathist evil crap.

It is important to mention that the frequent attacks on the oil pipes are reducing the size of the Iraqi exports, the thing affecting DICK Cheney's companies' income, in addition to the "Iraqi people".

Poor DICK.

First Attempt Didn't Go Through

Rana and Ra'ef made it to Baghdad safe. They couldn't leave untill 10 in the morning today, when they called me to say that they couldn't cross the Jordanian borders during the night. Rana called my brother Khalid in Baghdad this evening saying that they couldn't make it to Fallujah, and that she'll tell us the details later. I tried to go and ask some Iraqi drivers working on the Baghdad-Amman line whether the highway of Fallujah is still closed, and they said no one can reach to either Fallujah or Ramadi due to the US siege. Drivers are taking an alternative way called "theraa` Dijlah" that takes them northern to the highway then back to it after Ramadi.

My family will try their best to send the First Batch tomorrow.
