The fall-out continues:

(from the article)
"
Conservative media and political foes, however, characterized the "moron"
comment as a signal of worsening relations between the North American

"
Hmmm, first the Iraqi uses this incident to show Western opposition to GW
and his policies, and then the 'Conservative Media/Political Foes' use this
incident to show the 'worsening relations b/w' our two countries. An
incident, I will reiterate, that was taken entirley out of context and was a
*private* conversation to begin with.
So the Conservative media/foes are on the same page as Iraqi editorials.
Now what does that tell you?
Things that make me go, "hmmmm...."
