"Don't attack during Ramadan!"

Remember that? Heavens, we had to respect the Iraqi's holidays, or else....well, something!

There might have been something to it:

His face half-scabbed by a recent burn - the result of a mishap with some TNT - Adnan al-Doleme suggested: "Stay with us, and we'll show you another attack. Ramadan has been Allah's gift to us. The streets are empty then, so we can attack the Americans without the possibility of killing our people."

If true, that could cut both ways though. Then nobody ought to complain about a curfew during Ramadan, and thus anybody about is a "fly".
