Iraq war lost, says top US Democrat
Via Al-Jazeera:
The US war in Iraq is lost and a further build-up of US troops in the country will not recover the situation, the senior Democrat in the US senate has said.
“This war is lost, and this surge is not accomplishing anything, as is shown by the extreme violence in Iraq this week,” Harry Reid, the senate Democratic majority leader, told reporters.
Rice in Egypt to rally Arab autocrats
In the midst of our country’s constitutional massacre, and as we embrace a “September 1981”-style crackdown on dissent, Condi has arrived in Egypt to meet Arab Foreign Ministers and Mubarak–part of her plan to “rally Arab moderate states for regional peace,” as Western news reports say.
Moderates?! Regimes with security services that sodomize detainees, lock up secularists for their beliefs, imprison liberals on fabricated charges, brutalize leftists in street demos, try Islamists in martial courts, turn their countries into constitutional Gestapo states–and Condi still regards them as moderates?
