Another thought: This could explain Bush’s fabulous tough talk at the VFW convention in Kansas City today.
“In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.” FDR
I wonder if this is why the Dems have had a change of heart, especially those who recently visited Iraq. This news may have been out there weeks ago and just being made public now.
Did that get posted? I missed it today.
There’s a problem here:
“In return, for cooperating in the fight against al-Qaeda, al-Douri has asked for guarantees over his men’s safety and for an end to Iraqi army attacks on his militias. “
HIS militias??? The idea of having a national army is that it is the ONLY army. Local warlords don’t get to have their own militias. This would be a deal-breaker for me.
