NEWS FROM IRAQ, THE MIDDLE EAST’S MOST VIBRANT NEW DEMOCRACY: “The party that won the most seats in Iraq’s March election has suspended talks on forming a coalition, five months after the inconclusive vote. [Former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi's] al-Iraqiya bloc was negotiating with the second-placed Shia-led bloc of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. But it has been angered by a TV interview in which Mr Maliki said that it represented the Sunnis of Iraq. Al-Iraqiya, which says it is non-sectarian, wants a televised apology from Mr Maliki before talks can resume.” Ha ha, at least American politicians aren’t the only ones who act like spoiled children and demand apologies from each other instead of running the country! Thank goodness the Iraq War is almost over, so we won’t have to care about this stuff anymore. [BBC]

And they still haven’t thanked George Bush.
Jebus, this makes the 2000 Florida recount seem like a drag race at the Norwalk Raceway on SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!!!!
The Prime Minister is trying to exploit religious differences for political gain, how despicable, no-one here would never do that.
This reminds me of visiting my Italian extended family and someone suggests we should all go down to the lake, some one thousand feet away: personality clashes, planning difficulties, total logistical nightmare that dissolves into petty infighting and arguing about details nobody had thought of. Which means this is actually a prime opportunity to slip away unnoticed.
I miss Charles Kuralt.
Which one is the “Orange” one?
[re=639676]Hedley Lamar[/re]: so do his various wives\families.
[re=639663]McDuff[/re]: Still, better than having the the Supreme Court selecting GWB as president.
They just are not buying into the American way! Do we have to use force to shove our way of life onto the Iraqi’s?
And, of course, every household in the freaking country has at least one AK-47. Hilarity ensues.
Remind us again the war is over in a year or two when Kurd, Arab, Turkman, Shia, Sunni, Bathist, Sons of Iraq, Rotary, Lions, Garden Club and PTA are merrily slaughtering one another. I mean really slaughtering, not just this half-hearted twenty people here, thirty people there slaughtering now, that’s just to keep skills current and let off a little steam…
