Multiparty Unilateralism Watch

First Jordan, now Yemen. Arab/Muslim countries offer peacekeepers for Iraq:

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) -- Jordan and Yemen offered troops to Iraq -- a major policy shift that could be an attempt to encourage other Arab and Muslim nations to help the country's new U.S.-backed government restore security.

...

Iraq's new authorities have been opposed to neighboring states, particularly Iran, Turkey and Syria, sending in troops. But the offers from Iraq's western neighbor, Jordan, and Yemen will be welcome in the United States, which has led a coalition of 33 countries -- none of them Arab -- in trying to secure postwar Iraq.

Yes, yes, I know: None of this counts if we don't have our greatest historical ally, France, on board.

John Kerry says so, and I believe him.

Truthfully? The absence of pan -Arab "help" has probably been key to our success so far.

These are some treacherous countries...

Posted by: lauraw on July 2, 2004 05:43 PM

I understand the suspicions, but I think this signals the beginning of the end.

The insurrection is just about over.

Posted by: Ace on July 2, 2004 05:45 PM

I think you're right regarding the beginning of the end of the insurrection, but I'm with GB and lauraw on "Arab help". This is the beginning of a new fight, a political fight. Jordan and Yemen want the transition to democracy in the ME to be slow because Americans "have short attention spans" and they figure if Bush loses they can still keep their tyrannies. Kerry is no great liberator. Kerry is a "regional stability" guy, cause it allows for greater expansion of social programs at home. (More resources available and all that) I think the regional powers are pulling a "DeVillepin". (Pretend to be friendly and cut your throat when you're not looking.)

On the bright side, I think we picked the right guys for the interim gov. and they won't likely be tempted to become the new Sadaam. (Strong hand to control the unwashed masses who can't govern themselves)

BIG NEWS UPDATE NOT FIRED

From her lawyer

"The irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox are absolutely and unequivocally false," Freedman said Friday. "Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses and they will come out whether through the courthouse or otherwise."

He added: "Those reporting her firing or the incredulous facts supporting that fiction have exhibited a complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth."

from anon2020
So what, she quit?
Megyn Kelly (accursed be her name) used to say all the time that Fox has a top female PR person who is a nasty pitbull and leaks nasty claims about anyone Fox is at war with, including those who have left the network. So I guess maybe she technically resigned? I don't know.
NEW: @FoxNews has obtained Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington's appeal filing to the MA Supreme Court, which includes Reddington accusing the lone holdout juror of being "biased" against those with "debilitating mental illness", which he says is a protected category.

Holiday Break: I've had a rough couple of weeks -- the shoulder is healing now and I'm finally getting decent sleep -- and I've decided to take a long weekend.
I'm taking Friday off, and then Monday off, too.
I have Open Threads for both days and I will post if big news breaks, but if it doesn't -- and it probably won't, news is slow before a holiday weekend -- I'm going to take a four day weekend.
