Greenpeace Outrage?
Clearly, Greenpeace and the Sierra Club should be pissed about this:
Orange flames could be seen Thursday on the horizon in the direction of the southern Iraqi oil center Basra, and U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said three or four oil wells may have been set afire.
Witnesses in Kuwait about eight miles south of the border said the flickering flames were spotted after a series of explosions that shook buildings in the area.
The Arab satellite television channel Al-Arabiya reported that fires had erupted in Iraq’s al-Rumeila field west of Basra and just north of the Kuwaiti border.
I expect them to take to the streets any minute now.
Happy St. Pats.

More Fun for the Democrats
According to this article, there are more troubling times ahead for the Democrats:
Nearly four months after unexpected election losses prompted a reevaluation of their priorities, congressional Democrats are conflicted over their party’s direction, deeply divided over Iraq and struggling to agree on a domestic agenda.
Senate Minority Leader Thomas A. Daschle (S.D.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) have encountered difficulty rallying the party behind a unified attack on President Bush, particularly with the party so split over whether the nation should go to war against Iraq with limited international support. Four Democrats from the Senate and two from the House are running for president, testing their own ideas and sapping attention from party leaders in Washington.
“You’re always going to have discord when you have this many people running and trying to get their message out,” said Pelosi’s spokesman, Brendan Daly. “We are trying to build unity and consensus.”
Not to mention putting a left face on everything, with Pelosi in the House and Hillary, Teddy, and Leahy essentially running the Senate, there are a number of internal inconsistencies that are going to hamper the Democrats for a while. I like the Democrats in disarray, but c’mon guys- there needs to be an EFFECTIVE check on Republicans. Not just bitching and moaning and strident statements.
