Peach it IS al-Maliki that they are trying to ban from speaking in front of a joint session of Congress.
Thanks for that; I'm disgusted with the Rats for trying to bar him.
Now, if we had a policy in place that we never, ever let anyone speak to Congress who didn't support Israel, maybe I'd feel differently.
But since we clearly don't have such a policy, let the Rats go pound sand. Preferably in a hostile Arab country. LOL
