"We've got him..." A journalists impressions....

"Ladies and Gentlemen," said Paul Bremer, pausing and looking around the conference hall - just like he'd been practising backstage... "we got him."

Then he rocked back on his heels, and waited for the wave of cheers and applause to wash over him.

But he'd managed to deliver the line so weakly that for about two seconds there was only a gentle, slightly confused smattering of applause, until these four Iraqi (?) gentlemen right in the middle of the conference - front and centre, about 3 rows back - stood up, as one, and started whooping and cheering and shouting oaths and curses - and though my Arabic is a bit rubbish, I'd guess that they were yelling stuff like: "string up that evil goat by his hairy balls and press glowing firebrands into his face and eyes." And the mood in the room lifted and the cheers rang out.

2. ya know

when i saw the replays of that the 1st thought in my mind was
they planted those people, just like they staged the statue toppling

it is sad that everything this admin does is a 'photo-op'
nothing true, nothing spontanous
all fake all the time

I thought the same thing about those Iraqis in attendance, but also assumed they were journalists (American spoon fed variety).
