A new day arises in Baghdad!
Can't wait to hear what the lying crooked liberals have to say about this. They seem to be the voice of the terrorists.
“Pachachi inspires respect, but [al-Yawer] represents the future,” said a Kurdish council representative, Mahmud Osmán…
With a round, always smiling face, al-Yawer projects the traditional image of an important Arab. Always dressed in a long white helabi and a keffi with two black rings, he presents himself as a unifier between the Oriental and Occidental cultures, particularly that of the US, although he admits he likes French food.
Rather than laicist, he describes himself as tolerant. “My family has always had excellent relationships with the Kurds, and when I was young, my mother used to take me to visit the Shiite sanctuaries in Najaf and Kerbala, as well as the Sunni mosques in Baghdad and the Church of the Virgin Mary,” he explains.
He supposedly supports the idea of a unified, federal Iraq. He's much younger than Pachachi but is also US educated (degree in engineering).
This is all Bush's fault...er...wait...this is positive...er...This is what John Kerry would have done without a war...yeah, that's right...without a war.
New Iraqi government being 'sworn' in live on FoxNews now.
All Iraqi leaders. The good ones that is. Fear assassination by the death cultists. Assassination and explosives are the best friend the Jihadist psychos ever found. Can you imagine what these assassins would do with a few nukes at hand? Islamic war doctrine is all about cowardly killings via assassination. Explosives magnify the impact of assassinations that were once done with just a dagger and could kill only one at a time.
For goodness SAKE...The AP title drives me NUTS. I ASSUMED this was a bad-news article based on the use of the word "disbands." Damn the AP for their negative influence on the news.
I am happy for our troops today, grateful that the Iraqis stepped up and accepted leadership of their own country.
This removes at least one powerful weapon from our EFAD "info" providers....no more adding "US appointed" to "Iraqi Governing Council" in mainstream "news" accounts, with the inflammatory implications in the Arab world (+ kindred misquided and misguiding).
Quilla, think powers and principalities, and pray for courageous John Negroponte, please...our new UN envoy to Iraq, working to effect change from within this corrupted institution.
Terrorists are going to do their utmost to sabotage Iraq's new government. Especially since the US election hinges on it as well. Quagmire equates to discrediting Bush.
Ghazi al-Yawer = not the US choice = indeed was the US choice.
C'mon. Double back. Wears traditional dress? Check
Hails from Mosul? Check
gripes about Americans? Check
Yeah that would be a friend of ours. I am serious. No way we see a buddy buddy get it. He wouldn't last past the expiration date of the soy milk in his fridge.
This can't be true . . . General Zinni and all the other critics have been saying Bush had no plan.
