[LynnTheDem]

2. Well THANK GAWD George W. bUsh forced demockracy onto Iraq!

Sure hope the people of Iraq send their GRATITUDE to George W. bUsh personally!

[Proud2BAmurkin]

18. He can invite him to the next state of the union and introduce him

[illinoisprogressive]

3. It is by Ware so I believe it.

[durrrty libby]

4. Two cheers for Democracy!!

:hurts: :hurts: :hurts:

[mike_c]

5. ummm-- terrorist?

Please.

[LSK]

8. terrorist = insurgent

They dont know who the fuck we are fighting over there anymore.

The only answer is to get the fuck out.

[Bucky]

10. insurgent = war hero

Americans can be KIA in Iraq, or they can be killed, or they can be collateralized. They can even be assassinated.

I don't think there's a way for an American to be "murdered" per se in Iraq unless it's by another American.

[mmonk]

6. What be this terrorist's name?

[Straight Shooter]

7. Well, they're getting elected there so we don't have to elect them here.

Oh. Wait. Nevermind.

[Bucky]

13. The sad thing is, that might be an improvement over some of our current officeholders

Is there any way he could do more damage to the US than Bush has done?

[Jack Rabbit]

15. We didn't elect the terrorist, Straight Shooter

He's court appointed.

[Straight Shooter]

19. Oh, I'm painfully aware of that, Jack Rabbit.

In six years I have never referred to bush as *resident. See, I can't even spell it out.

I was making a quick tongue-in-cheek swipe at the bush rationale.

:hi:

9. Iraqi lawmaker blamed in Kuwait bombings

Iraqi lawmaker blamed in Kuwait bombings now aids Iran, militias, U.S. says

BAGHDAD (CNN) -- A man sentenced to death in Kuwait for the 1983 bombings of the U.S. and French embassies now sits in Iraq's parliament as a member of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's ruling coalition, according to U.S. military intelligence,

Jamal Jafaar Mohammed's seat in parliament gives him immunity from prosecution, but Washington now says he supports Shiite insurgents and acts as an Iranian agent in Iraq.

Repeated efforts to reach Jamal Jafaar Mohammed for comment through the parliament, through the ruling Shiite Muslim coalition and the Badr Organization -- the Iranian-backed paramilitary organization he once led -- have been unsuccessful.

A Kuwaiti court sentenced Jamal Jafaar Mohammed to death in 1984 in the car bombings of the U.S. and French embassies the previous December, which killed five people and wounded 86. He had fled the country by then, but Western intelligence agencies also accuse him of involvement in the hijacking of a Kuwaiti airliner in 1984 and the attempted assassination of a Kuwaiti prince.

12. Quite an interesting democracy. Are the oil field leases safe?

[tabasco]

28. Everything with the oil is A-OK as long as the US Army is there.

That is why the US Army is there. To protect the goose that lays golden eggs for Exxon, Halliburton, Blackwater, and all the other profiteering corporations.

[Kagemusha]

23. Let me guess, he's in the Dawa Party?

Maliki was its Damascus man during the 80's and I think I heard he was involved in Hezbollah's Iranian-sponsored rise to prominence?

[Tom Joad]

11. Attacks on a military force are not acts of terror. It is a dreadful thing

and the lives of the soldiers killed is tragic and we mourn their loss, but it is not "terrorism".

That is in no way an endorsement of this subjects actions, and if he was involved in the targeting of Iraqi civilians, then it is terrorism, but we should use proper terms.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

16. Car bombings of US and French embassies in 1983

http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/02/05/monday/index.html?section=cnn_latest

[Tom Joad]

20. right. embassies are civilians, and that is terrorism. thanks for additional info.

[Tom Joad]

14. self delete.

[aquart]

17. Good grief. What was Arafat?

Didn't stop anyone from doing business with him. And sometimes it's an asset.

[Tom Joad]

21. Sharon was a terrorist, and it didn't stop the US from supporting him.

[Straight Shooter]

25. Let's not forget our dear departed tyrant terrorist Saddam Hussein, either. n/t

[Marie26]

22. Am I supposed to be shocked?

Pretty much all the "politicians" are just representatives of the various militias in Iraq.

[BuyingThyme]

24. This is just a wonderful line:

Jamal Jafaar Mohammed's seat in parliament gives him immunity from prosecution...

Is that right? Hmm...

Just imagine what the Pukes at CNN had to do to get that line into the story.

26. Terrorists

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_David_Hotel_bombing

The King David Hotel bombing (July 22, 1946) was a bombing attack against the British government of Palestine by members of Irgun — a militant Zionist organization.

The Irgun, dressed as Arabs, exploded a bomb at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, which had been the base for the British Secretariat, the military command and a branch of the Criminal Investigation Division (police). Ninety-one people were killed, most of them staff of the secretariat and the hotel<1>: 28 British, 41 Arab, 17 Jewish, and 5 other. Around 45 people were injured.

The attack was initially ordered by Menachem Begin, the head of the Irgun, who would later become Israeli Prime Minister. The attack was commanded by Yosef Avni and Yisrael Levi.


I seem to recall that the US supported the Begin Government.

[Cocoa]

27. I wonder how the troops feel about this?

[Cocoa]

29. purple finger for terrorism!

[spanone]

30. So, we're fighting to protect our enemy.....makes sense.

31. That's exactly right. It's because our enemy, GW Bush and the war profiteering cabal

are in the White House.
