Not very reliable. If Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki is denouncing Israel defending itself then he is not only standing against Bush and the US but the Saudis, Jordanians and every other freedom loving people on the planet. And "The New York Times?" Common. Does anybody honestly believe anything they might publish anymore?
Of course this is just my opinion but hey...
I'm not that familiar with IWT, which is why I posted the caveat--I haven't seen this published anywhere else, although Yahoo news did carry it from this source for a short while this morning. However, I'd think if he said anything this explosive, all the wireservices would be carrying it--gleefully.
