Baghdad, Jun 23, (VOI) – A Sunni legislator said on Monday that the security agreement to be signed between Baghdad and Washington would allow the latter to attack any country from Iraqi territories.

"The Iraqi-U.S. agreement contains several items that impinge upon the sovereignty of Iraq, including the right of the U.S. forces in Iraq to attack any nation and raid any Iraqi house and arrest people without prior permission from the Iraqi government," Khalaf al-Alyan, a member of parliament from the Iraqi Accordance Front (IAF), told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq – (VOI).

U.S. President George W. Bush had signed a declaration of principles with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki on December 1, 2007. It was planned to be ratified on July 31, 2008 to be effective as of January 1, 2009.

"The agreement grants the United States the right to set up a large number of bases in Iraq, ranging between 50 and 58 bases," said Alyan.
The IAF is composed of three key political components: Vice President Tareq al-Hashimi's Iraqi Islamic Party (IIP), IAF leader Adnan al-Dulaimi's Iraq People's Congress (IPC) and Alyan's National Dialogue Council (NDC).

1. Iraq has just given up its independence and sovereignty to the White House.

Who knew there were democrats in Iraq?

6. they haven't given up anything...yet..

and they've been on the brink of giving up everything for years now. I am always stunned when they don't fall in line. I mean, how much more bombing will it take?

2. This dovetails with Kyl/Lieberman. Its obviously directed at Iran

This and Kyl/Lieberman will provide complete freedom for the US to attack Iran from inside Iraq.

should read this and realize if you help elect McCain by failing to vote for Obama you are enabling this cluster fuck to take place.

7. Spinning Wheel.

What goes up must come down
spinning wheel got to go round
Talking about your troubles it's a crying sin
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinning wheel spin

You got no money, and you, you got no home
Spinning wheel all alone
Talking about your troubles and you, you never learn
Ride a painted pony
let the spinning wheel turn

Did you find a directing sign
on the straight and narrow highway?
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colours that are real

Someone is waiting just for you
spinning wheel is spinning true
Drop all your troubles, by the river side
Catch a painted pony
On the spinning wheel ride

Someone is waiting just for you
spinning wheel is spinning true
Drop all your troubles, by the river side
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinning wheel fly

8. Now Mailki has problems with Tehran and Al Sadr.

Bush won't rest until he's turn Iran Iraq relations back into Israel Palastien relations. The dumbass hanged the one guy that would be more than happy to attack Iran just for the hell of it.
