Next, on Extreme Makeover...

It sounds like Chrenkoff might soon be updating his famous post on "The Disadvantages of Pissing off America!"

Last week US forces launched an offensive near al-Qaim, more than 100 miles northwest of [Ramadi], and claimed to have killed scores of insurgents.

According to the doctor, [Iraq's most-wanted terrorist, Abu Musab al-]Zarqawi was escorted into Ramadi general hospital by smartly dressed men. “He was bleeding heavily and his escorts were well dressed with a look about them that was different from the casualties and family members we had been receiving from the al-Qaim offensive,” he was quoted as saying.

Let it never be said that this laissez-faire capitalist begrudged the boy an "extreme makeover" at government expense, courtesy of the fine cosmetologists of the American armed forces.
