gotta love Harper's -- more evidence of DOD stupidity
Reward offered by the U.S. military to any Iraqi who turns in a hand-held launcher and missile : $500

Amount such a weapon can reportedly fetch on the international black market : $5,000



Maybe they think the Iraqis are as stupid as right-wing Americans

2. The US military has such a low opinion of Iraqis
Much of everything that went wrong in this invasion comes from the US military grossly underestimating the Iraqi people.

7. "hell, these dumb Irakis'd probably sell me their kids for 500 bucks!"
Yeah, somebody didn't do their homework, did they?

Like the entire DOD. They sorta forgot to check and see what countries might have tried to occupy Iraq in the past, and how that went.

5. I wish they'd put more stuff online
It's very difficult to find their articles online.

6. I agree
I've heard that complaint here before. If they did, more DUers would have access to it

Lapham's essay "Buffalo Dances" was 'prolly the best piece I've read in a long time.
