Reports are al-Maliki is fast losing the Kurds' confidence. Al Qaeda finds a willing martyr and sends him in.
I found this quote encouraging:
'“I do not know how a group like al-Qaida claiming to be Islamic plans to attack and kill people on sacred days like Eid,” said Awad al-Jubouri, 53, one of the tribal leaders at the luncheon.'
After Mumbai maybe ordinary Muslims have seen enough of this barbaric idiocy.

I reckon Canada will be where it peters out.If it jumps the pond. Which I doubt, but some14some apparently hopes for. Economically and politically Canada is much closer to Europe than America.
Question is, what happens when next time a Euro government really screws up? These riots and the most recent ones in France were set off by tragic events (police shooting teens) but still, it is only a matter of time before much more lethal bungling occurs.

Not when you can come right out and say that you believe both Iraqis and Kurds were better off under Saddam Hussein's Nazi-inspired Baathist regime.
Why hold back?

Until Obama releases the vault copy of his birth cert that rumor may be one of the biggest draws to Hawaii. Which Honolulu hospital was he born in? His relatives and half-siblings give different answers...
But he really does respect the Constitution.
Don't let 'repubs' tell you otherwise.

smithinjapan, as uninformed as ever
McCain never put the guy in the spotlight. And 'looking up his credentials' is the very crime I was referring to.
As much as you obsess about America you still have soooo much to learn.
Ganbatte!

According to 'Liberal' logic, since Obama's transition site is censoring any questions related to Blago Gate, Obama must be innocent!
President-elect Barack Obama’s Transition today launched “Open for Questions,” a Digg-style feature allowing citizens to submit questions, and to vote on one another’s questions, bringing favored inquiries to the top of the list.
It was suggested when it launched that the tool would bring uncomfortable questions to the fore, but the results so far are the opposite: Obama’s supporters appear to be using — and abusing — a tool allowing them to “flag” questions as “inappropriate” to remove all questions mentioning Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich from the main pages of Obama’s website. . . . So far, Obama’s team does not seem to have stepped in to allow uncomfortable questions to rise to the top, and instead is allowing his supporters to sanitize the site. http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1208/Blagojevich_questions_censored_on_Transition_site.html?showall

"She is a victim of the US military industrial complex."
I think only someone who believes that about himself could post something so ridiculous.

goodDonkey:
Trouble is "Windy City Politics" is pretty much an exclusively Democrat production, and unfortunately their dirty business reaches far beyond Chicago.
Was Rahm Emmanuel 'above the fray'? How about 'the other side of Obama's brain' - Valerie Jarret? Michelle Obama was also a player.
And don't forget - David Axelrod inadvertently placed Obama smack in the middle of the fray two weeks ago:
"I know he's talked to the governor and there are a whole range of names many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them."

I can't believe the national lamestream media is so inept, so biased, that millions of us are now asking
what did the President-elect know, and when did the media know he knew it?

Chicago Trib has this:
"[I]ntercepted phone conversations between ROD BLAGOJEVICH and others indicate that ROD BLAGOJEVICH is contemplating rescinding his commitment of state funds to benefit Children's Memorial Hospital because Hospital Executive 1 has not made a recent campaign contribution to ROD BLAGOJEVICH."
Shaking down a children's hospital???
Stay classy, Dems!

zurcronium:Bush ended up being the poster boy for terrorist recruiting after he killed a million iraqi people for nothing.
Bush killed a million Iraqis? According to whom? Is this the official figure given by the Canadian "media"?

Heresy! How dare they oppose hopey changey!
POZNAN, Poland - The UN global warming conference currently underway in Poland is about to face a serious challenge from over 650 dissenting scientists from around the globe who are criticizing the climate claims made by the UN IPCC and former Vice President Al Gore. Set for release this week, a newly updated U.S. Senate Minority Report features the dissenting voices of over 650 international scientists, many current and former UN IPCC scientists, who have now turned against the UN. The report has added about 250 scientists (and growing) in 2008 to the over 400 scientists who spoke out in 2007. The over 650 dissenting scientists are more than 12 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers.

Prudent choice for an apostate. But I worry this could backfire and Obama could find himself target of the same kind of fatwa/death sentence that Rushdie got for writing a harmless novel.

Another stubborn opponent of hopey changey.Perhaps the 'progressive' wing of the Democrat Party at DailyKos or DU or CrooksAndLiars can dig up some dirt on this guy (or his family), have him publicly humilliated ala "Joe the Plumber". Teach him a lesson.

The Chicago Machine is too crooked for Obama to remain immune from the taint. Gov. Rod Blagojevich is just the first.
I laughed out loud when the link revealed some wag at NRO came up with the following, cause when I first saw it I thought for a sec it was the President-elect's actual reply:
"Look, he's just a governor who lives in my neighborhood."
