Update on Kurd-Shi'a Split

The Washingon Times fleshes the story out. Wouldn't it be great if there was more than one newspaper covering stories in Iraq other than Abu Ghraib?

Iraq's new president, seeking to calm tensions between his nation's Shi'ites and Kurds, pledged yesterday that promises of Kurdish autonomy in the country's interim constitution will be honored.

"Iraq will be a free and democratic federal country. Federalism has been accepted by all Iraqis," Ghazi Mashal Ajil al-Yawer said during his first visit to Washington since being named to the largely ceremonial post last week.

"The Kurdish demands are for federalism," he said at a press conference. "Federalism brings two pieces of a country and glues them together. This is what our brethren, the Kurds, want and we have to respect that. We're going to abide by" the interim constitution approved in March.

Kurdish leaders threatened this week to pull out of the new Iraqi government if their hopes for autonomy are thwarted. But Mr. al-Yawer insisted that reports of strife within the government were "baseless."

He insisted that reports of strife within the government were "baseless"?

Baseless?

One-third of the country threatens to secede and he calls that "baseless"?

This is an obvious lie designed to hide serious problems within the government from the Iraqi people via deceptive media relations.

And this comes just a week after they pandered to the illegal militias by promising them high-paying, cushy government jobs.

You know, I think the Iraqis are getting the hang of this "democracy" thing after all.

Now, we just need a high-level sex scandal. When that happens, you know: This Iraqi Project is going to work.

From the blog of Baghdadienne:

May 29th: AC paid me $400 to bring my little brother in for a round of "camel style" loving. I was, like, so morally conflicted about pimping my straight little brother, but a girl has to buy "Sex and the City" DVD's. Right?

June 1st: AC's been accused of spying for Iran! I'm bummed, because this means my little brother's butt is no longer a "cash-camel" for me. How am I supposed to get by on $25,000 a year?

June 3rd: Hmm..someone named "Wonkette" is writing about me. She seems to like butt loving. And bashing Republicans. Maybe if I add a couple new entries she'll keep "coming back", if you know what I mean...

June 4th: So, I met with G (who is on duty at something called the Abu Ghraib detention facility) on my lunch hour today. He took me down to the lowest level and we played a game he likes to call "Rumpy for Rummy". It involves him doing me up the poop shoot, while a bunch of hooded prisoners "jiggle the figs" in order to give me a "21 gun salute". Ohh, and he gave me $400 and an absentee ballot already filled out.

June 5th: Looks like my career in government may be coming to an "end". Wonkette has "outed me". Bummer. But Ana says I could have a career and faux lesbo shots, and she's willing to help!!! It's nice to have friends like that, even though we havent ever met.

June 7th: Faux lesbo shots are HOT!!! PLayboy is calling. Will pay top $$$ for me and AMC together. I'm all for it. Deal is still up in the air, because AMC appears to think that our asses need their own agents. I mean, I know they are hot and all, but their own agents? Why should I have to compete with my butt for gigs? And why does she keep saying "butterface"?

June 9th: AMC has dropped me like a rock. (Or gone down on me like Rock Hudson, maybe?) In any event, she won't return my e-mails anymore. Well, at least this gives me a chance to rest my ass. I hear there is a new blog called Wankette HQ that is "right up my alley" and a girl's gotta be tight if she wants to make a good first impression.

Update on Jasmine Ratchet: The DEI Dum-Dumb is eyeing a Senate run, because why should Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke get paid millions every two years to get blown out in the Texas senatorial election? Shouldn't she get some of that sweet sweet Act Blue graft?
Crockett addressed the possibility in an Instagram post where she said she would make a decision "depending on how many people reach out," but that her main focus has been legislating in the House of Representatives.
The post came after a poll from the National Republican Senatorial Committee was published showing that she was leading the pack of candidates with 35 percent in a hypothetical primary and was leading former Senate candidate Colin Allred, who was at 20 percent, per the Latin Times.

The Republican Senatorial Committee claims that she's ahead? LOL, that might be a little troll-poll.
