Iraq’s parliament just chose a new President who refused to rename Prime Minister Nouri Kamal al-Maliki to a third term. Maliki declared the move unconstitutional and his own State of Law Party pulled support from him.

Obama won’t know about this until tomorrow’s morning paper, if someone reads him more than the funnies.

Wonder if Obama is somehow caught up in all this. He has been saying the government needed to change if they wanted our help.
Watch Obama turn his back on them.

WZ was a brilliant songwriter.
As a foot note, his “Excitable Boy” had Linda Ronstadt and Jennifer Warnes as background singers.

He said he didn’t want to sic any firepower until the election was over. That’s why he’s golfing as we speak.

Not missing Sadam but his Hussein butt in Baghdad was far better than the Hussein arse in DC.

Hey Manuel, jump in a cart and run out to the ninth hole, and tell the weird guy he has a 3AM Phone call.

Military Coup Rocks Iraq
No respect! Not even when the president is on vacation. Things are not supposed to happen when the president goes on vacation. So believes Obama.
He wont be wanting to confront the reality of world affairs gone amuck, so, he'll be looking for some fundraiser to take his mind off the situation.

Obama and Clinton weaponized and funded the "rebels"
from Libya to Syria, a subset of whom are now ISIS.
Obama, with help also from McCain, has woven an Islamic
terror web worldwide.

Sure seems strange to me. We don’t trust the members of Islam at all, but give them a hand-held and a Twitter account, and all the sudden they have all the credibility of a Founding Father.

I am wondering the same.
Nothing in Google news or CNN.com or Yahoo news.
