I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Fool
sorry, pie, didn't mean to jump all over your post. Ack.
Who's writing the laws? Who's running the government? Who's controlling the finances and the oil fields? Who's in charge of security and reconstruction? Who's writing the speeches being given by the *new* government?
Who's in charge of Iraq?
At this point, if you told CNN it was the tooth fairy they would declare it a "bold move."
A.
It's okay, Athenae. That's it today.
Take it away!
Damn, chalk me up as sorry, too.
That's okay, Holden. Everyone seems to like it when there are a lot of posts. No problem.
It'd be so much easier to listen to the "ambassador" if he'd take the sock off of his hand before approaching the podium.
Time to start comparing his press releases when he was overseeing activities in Central America with those while he's in Iraq.
Why are we building 14 {or 16} premanent bases around Iraq?
Does spelling count?
More Iyad "Saddam 2.0" Allawi news from Le Monde, courtesy of a dKos diary.
Interesting that just before Negroponte gets to Iraq, apparently the death squads begin administering justice.
Or, it is incorrect to call one man shooting six prisoners a "squad"?
Judge, jury, executioner, prime minister....
A sub-headline at Al Jazeera (English) has Negroponte saying that Allawi's amnesty does not apply to those who have killed American troops.
???
Allawi's amnesty statement some days ago covered those who have killed occupation forces.
American troops arent occupiers?
Who's in charge? What sovereignty?
"That's okay, Holden. Everyone seems to like it when there are a lot of posts. No problem"
you guys are doing a great job. but, i for one don't like it when there are 'too many' posts. then again who cares what i think. i don't even care what i think.
john negroponte? oh yea, now i remember, that war criminal, from the last war criminal administration.
if anyone has it, someone should post that picture of him at the UN standing in front of La Guernica(sp).
Now I get it, The whole reason Allawi granted amnesty in the first place at all was to cover his own actions.
Anyway, Negroponte "We are no longer the ultimate political authority in Iraq"
Yeah but we are still the political authority in Iraq, just not the ultimate one.

BLESS THIS MESS
From a letter to God written in December 2000 by...a secretary at Goldmanm-Sachs. In April of this year she was found guilty of stealing $8 million from her bosses...[she] had used some of the money to buy a villa in Cyprus, and was making preparations to move there when she was arrested.
Dear God,
I write to you worried and fearful that once again I find myself in serious trouble. I want to go back home knowing all is well with the house purchase and that I go back to work and do not find myself in lots of trouble regarding anything, especially not Amex of any of my bankers and Jennifer and Ron's account or any of their affairs. Please protect me. I need one more helping of what's mine upon my return, and then I must cut down and cease in time all this philandering. Please insure my job is safe and my integrity unquestioned upon my return and these remain secure throughout. I don't know what shall [sic] be happening with Ron and Jen [her victims], I only hope that they still think enough of me to continue to want me as their anchorperson...

Watch out -- anything bad that happens in Iraq from now on: "not our fault -- it's the Iraqi government!"

Re your posting: I've always maintained that religious people have a certain kind of mental health issue.
Sometimes quite innocious, although I wouldn't like to suffer from it, at other times (such as this or the current preznit) absolutely dangerous.
Re your posting: I've always maintained that religious people have a certain kind of mental health issue.
Simple rational thought compels me to point out that this notion turns the idea of "mental health" on its head.
Since the majority of humans in the planet's history have been "religious people," and the majority alive today subscribe to some kind of religious belief.
So if they all suffer from a mental health problem, how, again, do you define mental health? Because essentially what you're saying is, everyone is mentally ill but you.
Which doesn't exactly make sense, if you see what I mean. "Health" has to be a standard measured first and foremost against the condition of the majority, not the ideology of a minority.
I control Iraq.
I use a series of ofshore holdings to hide the vast amounts of wealth I made in the drug trade in the early 80's. After that I started buying up politicians through a campaign of blackmale and threats. Over time as I gained control of all US policy I found it advantageous to use my same methods on leaders of other countries. Once I controlled Damascus I knew Iraq had to be next in my path to world domination.
Gang, one thing to remember, excepting al Jazeera, Robert Fisk, and say, John Pilger, NO ONE in the media cadre usually ventures out of their hotels, much less the "Green Zone."
We cannot verify anything, because no one is there to verify!
Allawi is a bit like Karzai in a way....he is the "Mayor of Baghdad." Outside of Baghdad, the mullahs, the rebels, and a HORDE of crooks, killers, and kidnappers, rule the country! It is a pandemonium! Utter chaos! Into this maelstrom Chimpy McFlightsuit has dropped John "Old Death Squad" Negroponte! But, like Zalmay Kalilizad, what impact will "Old Death Squad" have on US intersts if Allawi is considered a useless, murdering tool of the Americans? In a word, no impact.
Already as Sy Hersh and Robert Fisk have both warned us, that claims will appear that all the Iraq trouble is "from outsiders." Outsider claims should be greeted with the reply, "bullsh-t." Remember, there is no one to verify anything outside of the green zone except those so well established in Iraq and the Middle East that they can travel without being suicidal. So when the mainstream parrots claims about outsiders doing the damage, as Abu Dhabi TV is already doing, remember Abu Dhabi doesn't get out of Baghdad! Like the Americans, they are virtual prisoners of the "Green Zone."
how long before the usual Negroponte-influenced weather forecast can be expected...Sunny, warm, scattered clouds and a 50% chance of women being thrown out of helicopters
