Only a short time ago the city of Fallujah served as stronghold for insurgents. Daily skirmishes, improvised explosive device detonations and public unease made operating a business in the city very difficult.
Today, with improved security throughout the region, the low price of 4,000 dinar, or $3.50, will purchase a full meal at the recently established Kentucky Fried Chicken in the Hey Al Dubat area of the city.
That’s so awesome it hurts a little bit, actually.
Plus, the fact that they’re opening a KFC in Fallujah of all places sort of makes it harder for the anti-war faction to claim that a) the surge hasn’t worked, or b) that things aren’t getting better - because let’s be honest, fried chicken and biscuits makes EVERYTHING better.

Except for the chicken. ;)

Actually, it does make the chicken better too. Seriously, have you ever eaten raw or undercooked chicken? Properly deep-fried in a giant pot of oil is a dramatic improvement. :p

They probably added falafel to the menu.

Mmm, fried fowl in a Fallujah falafel. I’m sold.

Ahh, that taste of freedom… tastes like…. chicken.
