"President" Talabani kissing Saddam's cheeks...when will US State Media
bother showing that?

I assume they'll show it the same time they show the photos of Rummy shaking Saddam's hand...

:rofl:

One night in the spring of 1991 when staying at his camp in a ruined school in Mawat - a mountain village north of Sulaymaniyah where he had taken refuge during earlier struggles with the rival KDP in the 1960s - he disappeared, and nobody would say where he had gone.

Then he popped up on television from Baghdad, kissing Saddam Hussein on the cheeks. Far from being outraged, the Kurds danced in celebration. They thought reconciliation with Baghdad must mean the war was over.

As he embraced Saddam Hussein, little can he have imagined that one day he would be taking his place as president of the Iraqi republic.
