CONDI IN THE MESS O' POTAMIA
Edited on Tue May-17-05 02:02 PM by paineinthearse
Dahr Jamail reports on Condoleezza Rice's pop over to Iraq:

"Rather than a welcoming parade with ticker-tape and rose petals for the U.S. Secretary of State who was one of the architects of the invasion, 34 corpses of men shot, beheaded or with their throats slit were discovered across Iraq today.

"Other aspects of her warm welcome included drive-by shootings in Baghdad which claimed the lives of a senior Industry Ministry official, his driver and a prominent Shia cleric as well as a dual-bomb attack in Baquba which narrowly missed taking the life of the governor of Diyala province (but took the lives of four others in his convoy). A second bomb was delivered five minutes after the first by a man running on foot towards the convoy who then detonated an explosives belt."

3. "...34 corpses of men shot, beheaded or with their throats....
.... slit were discovered across Iraq today."

Sounds like John Negroponte's death squads are making real progress in Iraq. Condi would be proud! :wtf:

She is quoted as saying, while inspecting the oil pipelines for Exxon, "I love the smell of spilled crude oil in the morning. It smells like......VICTORY!" :nuke:

4. "The crusaders' hag came to sully the land of the caliphate..."
Iraq's Qaeda warns Sunnis against constitution

Reuters

May. 17, 2005 - Iraq's al Qaeda blasted calls by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for Sunni Muslims in Iraq to participate in drafting a new constitution, saying those who did would be infidels, according to an Internet statement. "The crusaders' hag (Rice) came to sully the land of the caliphate...and wants the participation of apostates and secularists claiming to be Sunnis," the group led by Jordanian Abu Musab al-Zarqawi said in the statement posted on Tuesday on a Web site used by Islamists on Tuesday. "Would anyone draft the constitution other than those who do not believe in God's book...," said the statement dated May 16. "Our Sunni faith stipulates that the sword and bullets be the only dialogue between us and worshippers of the cross."

Rice met Iraqi leaders on Sunday to discuss the battle against an escalating insurgency and said minority Sunni Arabs should be included in political processes. Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari, a Shi'ite, said he wanted the drafting of the constitution to involve Sunnis. Iraqi politicians are reaching out to Sunnis, who were dominant under Saddam Hussein, hoping to lessen support for the insurgency. Zarqawi's group, one of the main networks fighting the government and U.S. forces, has threatened to kill fellow Sunnis who join the new government announced late last month.

"Those of sick hearts rush to please the Jews and Christians and sell their religion for earthly interests, desiring posts," Al Qaeda Organization for Holy War in Iraq said. It also vowed in its latest statement to avenge what it said was the desecration of the Koran in Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, the Iraqi city of Basra and the U.S. base in Guantanamo. A report in Newsweek magazine's May 9 issue about U.S. interrogators desecrating the Koran sparked protests across the Muslim world. Newsweek later retracted the report.
