Sick Iraq leader flown to Jordan

Iraqi President Jalal Talabani has been flown to neighbouring Jordan for medical treatment after falling ill.
In a statement, the president's office said Mr Talabani, 73, had become ill as a result of "continuing hard work over the past few days."
The president's office declined to say what he was suffering from, but said there was "no cause for worry".
Mr Talabani, a Kurd, was last seen in public on Saturday in the northern city of Sulaimaniya, AP news agency said.

My impression is that Talabani is a pretty good friend of the U.S. and a supporter of U.S. presence until Iraqi forces are truly strong enough to take care of things themselves. He has told Iran & Syria to "butt out".
This makes me suspect some sort of foul play...he's a Kurd. Wonder if one of Mookie's pals is his cook?
