The “new” Iraq is a place where appointments are based on qualifications and merit. This is a “liberated” country after all. So the Iraqi president-under-foreign-occupation, Jalal Talabani, searched for the best and most qualified candidate to serve as Iraq’s ambassador at the UN. He appointed his son.

Iraqi member of parliament-under-foreign-occupation, Safiyyah As-Suhayl (who was the guest-in-the-balcony in the first State of the Union Speech after US invasion of Iraq) offers a very bleak assessment of the “new” Iraq. When American puppets are turning against the occupation, you know that something is wrong, very very wrong.

In the last week, while Mubarak was jailing opposition leaders, he announced a meeting with the Israeli prime minister, and his foreign minister refused to meet the new Palestinian (Hamas) foreign [...]

Lebanese ministers are very high-tech. I mean, they can’t have one meeting without relying on the laptops that they place in front of them. Here, Pierre Gemayyel, Joe Sarkis, and Talal Sahli show their extreme reliance on computers during the last cabinet meeting.

Hadil Ghaban, 8, was killed by an Israeli bomb. (I noticed that Haaretz made her age, 12, to make it easier on its readers. Haaretz has to do its job in terms of services to Israeli propaganda.).

In 1986, the current Pope (who was in charge of Preserving the Middle Ages) published a very hateful and kooky document about homosexuals. Does anybody know if the text is available on the internet? (Walid Jumblat finds “really important” documents on the internet after all, and almost every week, Walid Jumblat wins the big prize [...]

Ma Sha’ Allah Shams Al-Wa`idhin. ما شاء الله شمس الواعظينThere is an Iranian commentator associated with a (government) thinktank in Tehran, whose name is Ma Sha’Allah Shams Al-Wa`idhin. I like his name: most unusual. The full translation of his name is this: Whatever God May Will The Sun of all Preachers. (The Sun of All [...]

“U.S. soldiers who shot dead a Reuters television soundman in Iraq last year breached their rules of engagement and the killing was “unlawful”, an independent investigation commissioned by Reuters has found.” (Will anybody care? No, why do you ask?)
