Soldiers face murder in Iraq

Just out of curiosity, and I'm sure you've stated this before but somehow I missed it, abdcefg, but what are your bona fides on all things Middle Eastern? I've yet to discern in any post the faintest scintila of doubt or a caveat that maybe there are things going on you don't know.

Are you of Middle Eastern origin? Do you have a doctorate in Middle Eastern studies? Do you have friends in various governments? Are you perhaps, actually Paul Wolfowitz? How is it your opinion has become so so so so so so so so much more informed than anyone elses here?

I know how you know so much more than I do, as Kev pointed out to me, I am blinded by my Bush hatred. But how did you get so knowledgeable?
