    It´s all about...umm...burgers???

    Heard it today in the news - but couldn´t find an online source for it:

    "First Burger King restaurant opens in Baghdad."

    Is this true? Anybody else heard it?

    If it is true, it explains everything. The war wasn´t about WMD or oil, it was about BURGERS! You must bear in mind that the region is of strategic interest for the military-fast food complex.

    Blah

    I'm betting some enterprising Iraqi saw money making opportunity and jumped on it.

      I guess no one noticed that Bush has been secretly shipping out the sand.

              Well to be fair, there has to be clean water at Burger King.

              And BTW, not even all the drinking water in Russia is clean. Iraq has a long way to go.

                  That is just a conspiracy theory. Truth is that this was just to save it from looting until the Iraqis can deal with their sand without foreign help

                            At least it's not a McDonalds. While I was away at uni, my local McD's was shut down for a week or so when someone caught herpes from one of the burgers.

                            Or so the rumours go.

                              McDonald's is many things but there restaurants are always super clean. If a franchisee doesn't make the cleanliness grade then he can lose his entire franchise; an investment of several hundred thousand dollars.
