I know, it sounds like one of those word puzzles. But it explains why our greatest ally in the fight against al Qaeda might have been al Qaeda. From the London Telegraph:
Besides the terrible killings inflicted by the fanatics on those who refuse to pledge allegiance to them, Al-Qa'eda has lost credibility for enforcing a series of rules imposing their way of thought on the most mundane aspects of everyday life.
They include a ban on women buying suggestively-shaped vegetables, according to one tribal leader in the western province of Anbar.
Well, there you have it. Maybe Bush gets some credit for the collapse of al Qaeda, and maybe al Qaeda did it all by themselves. If your idea of policy is to keep women from buying cucumbers because they are, well, long and hard, you might expect to wear out your welcome pretty fast.
