…Al-Hayat reports that a decision on the new prime minister [Iraq] will not be announced until at least Wednesday. The decision was postponed in part because of Ashura, and in part because of the difficulty in getting a "green light" from Washington in the wake of Ambassador John Negroponte's appointment as intelligence czar. (US news sources have not spoken as openly of the need for a green light from Washington, but al-Hayat's sources are frank about it. This frankness agrees with the comment made by one embassy official that Iraq cannot select a prime minister who is unacceptable to Washington.

well, well. So much for the Bush administration’s claim to be bringing democracy to Iraq, or anywhere else for that matter.

So, let’s recap.
WMD’s and “imminent threat” – nope
The liberation of the Iraqi people – nope
Bring democracy to Iraq – nope

Hey, George, let’s cut the crap. I know the real reasons for your invasion of Iraq. The world knows the real reasons for your invasion of Iraq. In fact, the Iraqi’s know the real reasons.

So, George, when you gonna grab ‘em and tell the American people. Or are you one of Arnold’s ‘girlie-men’ ?

You know, George, or maybe your momma never told you ?, that when you get to lying, your stories begin to get all tangled up. As Judge Judy would say, “Don’t pee on my leg, and tell me it’s raining.
