Nouri al-Malliki has birthed a lot of trouble in Iraq in his two terms as prime minister.
Saturday, the Iraqi Parliament passed a law to ensure that he is limited to two terms. Nouri's State of Law immediately called the limit unconstitutional and outrageous.
But have they forgotten the placenta that detached from Nouri's uterine wall in February 2011?
"I support the insertion of a paragraph in the constitution that the prime minister gets only two turns, only eight years, and I think that's enough."
That's Nouri, offering support for the law that just passed, but offering it back in February 2011.
From December 2010, the illustration is Isaiah's The World Today Just Nuts "Not Quite There."
