It can plunge Baghdad into darkness, but since it's 1 am there, anyway, it might be a little too late to make much difference.
Wolf Blitzer is really concerned about this!!! /s

Oh yeah, that will earn them plenty of support. New slogan - vote for the party of darkness!
Paper, pencil and purple thumbs - the 3Ps.
