Allawi -ant for Christmas is my two front teeth

So Allawi is in the U.S. today talking about Iraq. When asked about how things were going in Iraq, Allawi flashed a quick smile and said "In the words of your Tony the Tiger, `They're great!'" We choose to believe him!

So, is it possible that Cat Stevens is a terrorist? Yes. Note the Bush adminstration spin on his deportation:

A gap in the airline passenger-check system permitted the former Cat Stevens to board a London-to-Washington flight despite being on a no-fly list for suspected ties to terrorists, a Bush administration official said Thursday.

The incident involving Yusuf Islam, formerly known as singer Cat Stevens, dramatizes a need for changes to tighten the system, said Asa Hutchinson, under secretary for homeland security.

"There's a gap there, so obviously the rules have to be changed" governing the comparison of passenger names with a watch list of people suspected of terrorist links, Hutchinson acknowledged in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America."

Appearing on NBC's "Today" show, he said, "Someone on the watch list should not be on the airplane flying. The responsibility falls on the airline under our current system."

Here we were assuming that everyone was more like "Why the hell are we deporting Cat Stevens?" As opposed to "God Damn it! How could they let Cat Stevens on the fucking plane? If our government cannot protect us from 1970s singer-songwriters who can they protect us against?"
