[La Enchiladita]

HELLO to those FReepers who hailed the appointment of a muslim as U.S. ambassador to Iraq. This is a sickening development.

The U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Zalmay Khalilzad, said he exchanged views with Iranian delegates "directly and in the presence of others" at the gathering led by Iraq's neighbors and the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council.

"Prime Minister Maliki called terrorism "an international epidemic" for which the people of Iraq were paying the price."

In other words, he's telling people from the other countries that everybody knows their douchebags are ending up in Iraq.

Let's give these people some more time with each other. Let's see what they do!
