al Musowi, a businessman on Baghdad's city council, The Chicago Tribune,

el Yassiri, editor of the new satirical Iraqi newspaper Habez Bouz,
Financial Times (London), July 31, 2003.

starting to realize that the soldiers are not here to occupy Fallujah
forever-they're here to help us rebuild." -- Taha Bedawi, mayor of Fallujah,
The Washington Post, July 29, 2003.
  4.. "It's a chance to defend our country for our people. It's good to work

business here." -- Captain Adel Khalaf, director of the port at Umm Qasr,

double, after hearing of Uday's death, Agence France Presse, July 26, 2003.
