Editorial: All the things the media keeps forgetting to tell you about Iraq

standing behind mcgurk




In June 2012, the White House claimed they'd stand behind then-nominee for US Ambassador to Iraq Brett McGurk -- apparently because, as Isaiah pointed out, they were afraid to stand in front of him.



Now the sleazy Brett has been sent to Iraq by Barack.  Why?

To announce that the US-brokered Erbil Agreement is no more.

That's big news and it was noted in Iraqi media and in Friday's "Iraq snapshot."

The US-brokered Erbil Agreement is what ended the 2010 political stalemate after 8 months, for those who've forgotten.  It was a contract that outlined a power-sharing government.  The US swore it was legal and binding and that they'd back it up.

Last week Brett McGurk announced the new US-policy: Backing a majority government.

If the Iraqis had wanted a majority government, they would have voted one in.

Then again, if they'd wanted Nouri for a second term as prime minister, they would have voted his State of Law into first place in the 2010 elections.

But they didn't do that either.

No.

They voted Iraqiya into first place.

But Barack Obama took out his tiny penis and pissed all over the Iraqi people, their voters and democracy.  He and his tiny penis wanted Nouri al-Maliki.

The US government's word isn't worth anything in Iraq anymore and you can thank Barack Obama for that.  Democracy was important to Brack . . . until democracy meant that the Iraqi people chose someone other than Nouri to be prime minister.

Look for the same whores who pass themselves off as journalists to ignore this development.  The same way they are ignoring Nouri announcing Friday that he wants early parliamentary elections.  We're not talking about the April 20th provincial elections.  No, he wants to hold parliamentary elections -- currently scheduled for March 2014 -- no later than this coming June.

And those April 20th elections?  He's not letting Anbar or Nineveh vote.  Says it's too dangerous.  Says they'll need six months to calm down sufficiently for voting.  Anbar and Ninveh support Iraqiya.  So if parlimentary elections are moved up to June, do you really think Nouri's going to let them participate?

That's one way to ensure that Iraqiya doesn't beat him again -- refuse to allow their members to vote.
