And for dessert, the still-warm liver of Muqtada al-Sadr

It’s been a questioning that has had Americans and policy makers alike in a quandary. Up to our collective and figurative neck in the quagmire that is the clusterf—k war in Iraq, it’s hard not to ponder the question of how and when we’ll know that we’ve won in Iraq. If you’re wondering what victory in Iraq looks like…and Lord knows I am, I’m not at all certain this is what I was imagining:

They slit the rabbit’s belly, ripped it open and feasted on the still beating heart. The commandos of the Iraqi army were celebrating on Wednesday after the Americans had handed over control of Najaf province….Each man reached into his right pocket, pulled out a frog and bit its head off. They threw the squirming legs to the ground as the group’s leader held aloft a live rabbit. He slit the belly and plunged his mouth into the gash. The carcass was then passed around to the rest of the soldiers, who took their own bites. It was explained later that this practice was especially popular among Saddam Hussein’s feared Fedayeen militia, whose members had done the same thing with live snakes and wolves.

They would have washed down their repast with the blood of a young Jewish child, but, sadly, none could be found on short notice….
