The ultimate (so far) in the ‘unreported news’ department
Iraqi legislators pass a law designed to (possibly) end the occupation of their country
How does this go unreported?
What kind of fucking proof is needed that this occupation is not desired (as claimed) by the Iraqis!
Long story short: A bill passed this week by the Iraqi parliament requires their government to seek parliamentary permission for asking the United Nations to extend the mandate of U.S.-led forces in Iraq when the existing request expires in December.
It reflects growing disenchantment with the U.S.-backed government, and particularly Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. How odd that the democrats are too paralyzed with fear to get us out, yet a contentious, 2 year old parliament may come to the rescue.
It may not be making ANY news now, but let’s see what happens in December…
