Apparently, he's being told by thousands that he might want to go find a new job. I predict he'll be assassinated soon if he doesn't step down. Especially since chunks of Baghdad are being taken over by militants. Neurotic Iraqi Wife talks about what it's like living in Baghdad right now here.
Whole damn place is a mess.

Quote
Al-Maliki said Iraq had become a "nation of gangs, militias and outlaws" and he was undertaking a "historic mission" in Basra to restore "the law of the land."
Good luck to ya.

The 'law of the land'? May he mean his particular Shiite version of it? ::)

You mean it's no longer safe for McCain to shop there?
Surely you jest... we've brought democracy to those people, after all.

Okay, it might look a bit untidy at the moment but people will learn to kiss the iron boot of liberty.

Fixed it for you.   :'(

Who's family?   Charlie Manson had a family....

What values?  Jeffery Dahamer had values....

Which faith?  The Branch Dividians had faith...

Which Privitazation?  Author Anderson had privitization...

.....

Perspective is everything  :mrgreen:

May I borrow those, Bob?

I'll tuck them away with "They laughed at Gallileo, they laughed at Edison, they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."

Feel free!

I did not invent the idea of "who's family, who's values".  I don't know who did, but the first time I heard it was an ill-fated (for telling the bald-faced truth) late-night local talk show called "You're On".   Sam Jones (a local TV personality) was the host.  I got to meet him, and express both my admiration and my regret at his fine show and it's cancellation.

Host was too cool, and represents the ONLY TIME EVER that I called into to a radio/tv show....

It was canceled because it was "too controversial" at the time when our city had a Republipuke mayor...  I'm quite certain the show was suppressed by the local republipukes and the local fundies.

Just for telling the bald-faced truth....

But, use'em or make up your own-- to one who looks at an issue as objectively as possible (and tries to remove the emotional component) I'm certain you can come up with more and better.  :)

I think "kiss the iron boot of liberty" emphasizes the contrast better than a long string of right-wing buzz-words. Btw, liberty is traditionally anthropomorphized (Lady Liberty), "Family Values" is not. Would you recognize her/him on a costume ball? :mrgreen:

Here, you would.

That'd be the one person *not* in costume, waving a US flag in one hand and a KJV with an NRA sticker on it in the other.

I would think that the norm at a certain kind of costume balls.
Sorry  :offtopic:

About everything Maliki does makes him look even more like an US puppet, especially when he tries to show that he is not.
