News – Agreement at Last

Middle East

Looks like we got some Iraqis to agree on something. They don’t like us. And that isn’t the common people, these are factions. Some local Baghdad officials are breaking ties with the US in protest. Yes, the time for out exit is growing closer, regardless of the country’s state. Sooner or later, we’ll become more an agitator than a motivator.

Rivals to the party of Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari say that Bush wants Jaafari out. Considering all the bad stuff(with the government, not with the security situation in Iraq), I’m not surprised. All of the secret prisons and torture, one wonders how much Jaafari knew about it.

Abdur Rahman, the Afghan who converted to Christianity, is freed. There is no note as to why the charges were dropped against him, but it was certainly not because the Sharia law precept that he was charged under was struck down.

Europe

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi mouths off and states “Go and read the black book on communism and you’ll find that under Mao’s China they didn’t eat babies but boiled them to fertilize the fields.” Ya, that’ll help relations and reform.

North America

Bush backs U.S. Sen. Conrad Burns, who has the pressure on due to his Abramoff ties. “He’s the kind of person the people of Montana need here. They need somebody who’s steadfast when it comes to defending the country, who’s wise about how we spend your money,” he says.

Zacarias Moussaoui admits in court that he was supposed to fly a fifth plane with Richard Reid to hit the White House. Considering Reid was trying to blow up a plane, one wonders how much truth is in this admission.

An undercover government investigation shows that several investigators were able to enter the US with the materials to make two dirty bombs. Feeling safe under Bush?

Lawyer John Claassen sues eHarmony for no letting him join until his current divorce is over. What a dumbass. It won’t take that long to get his affairs in order, then he can enter the murky world of online dating.

Louis Farrakhan goes to Cuba and calls for regime change in the US. Ya.. ok.
