WARMONGERING WARMONGERS! CHICKENHAWK!
Why do you care more about Iraqis than about the poor and the “of color”?
We agree with the above poster, as well as with Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez.
(OFFICIAL POST BY EZLN // http://www.ezln.org)
I very much doubt that…
Hitchens has some thoughts in Slate.
If you haven’t read it yet, I suggest you check out Steyns latest about the Iraqi constitution, use bugmenot to get pass the registration.
It’s well worth the read-
Why I remain an optimist
The latest stage is the new constitution, which is a much better document than its pre-publicity and certainly better than other recent attempts at constitution-making. The difference between the US and European constitutions was encapsulated in their opening words: on the one hand, ‘We the people…’; on the other, ‘His Majesty The King of the Belgians…’, followed by a whole phone book of obligatory namechecks  the President of the Czech Republic, Her Majesty The Queen of Denmark, Bob and Harvey at Miramax, my agent Bernie, etc.
If M. Giscard and his fantasist technocrats ever decide to have a second bite at the Euro-cherry, they might want to call in the drafters of the new Iraqi constitution as the rewrite guys. The Iraq version begins:
‘We the sons of Mesopotamia, land of the prophets, resting place of the holy imams, the leaders of civilisation and the creators of the alphabet, the cradle of arithmetic…’.
The *Sons* of Mesopotamia.
Harrumphh.
I’m still a little worried, gotta be honest.
In about two weeks all we are going to hear about the Iraqi consitution is how Bush et Cie. are using the October vote to deflect attention from the aftermath of Katrina.
But didn’t I read some where that Al Quaida is claiming Katrina as a jihad warrior–so maybe there is a connection somewhere???
OT,
Hugh Hewitt is interviewing Major Garret on his radio show right now. Garret says that Red Cross officials told him that they attempted to bring supplies to the Superdome on the day after the storm. But LA state officials prevented them from bringing it because they didn’t want to attract people to the Superdome.
Oops. Jeff already has a post about this up. If only I could type faster.
And read faster.
Sons of Mesopotamia: sounds like a bowling team.
I’ll bet old Governor Blanco is considering moving to a country that has no extradition treaty with the US right about now…
“Sons of Mesopotamia”? Didn’t Laurel and Hardy belong to that lodge? Or am I thinking of something else?
Sons of the Desert, McGehee.
