"Now say 'How high?,' Nouri, come on, 'How high?' When I tell you to jump, that's what I want to hear, capisce?"
Little did Noah Feldman and his ilk realize that when they so fervently propounded blue-thumbed Iraqi democracy, that the apparent Shi'ite enthusiasm for Jeffersonianism would come to this. "President Ahmadinejad Says Iran Ready to Fill Power Vacuum in Iraq," from AP (thanks to all who sent this in):
TEHRAN, Iran — President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned Tuesday that a power vacuum is imminent in Iraq and said that Iran was ready to help fill the gap."The political power of the occupiers is collapsing rapidly," Ahmadinejad said at a press conference in Tehran, referring to U.S. troops in Iraq. "Soon, we will see a huge power vacuum in the region. Of course, we are prepared to fill the gap, with the help of neighbors and regional friends like Saudi Arabia, and with the help of the Iraqi nation."
Yes, watch for him to get very chummy with the Saudis.

Where's Saddam Hussein when you need him?
Oh, that's right, they hung him high in Baghdad.
This picture is brought to you by George Almighty Bush, who, by the way, continues to insist that Iraq has been a success.
Joke. A f-cking joke!

This Ahmadinejad seems like a HELL of a nice guy.

...LOOKS like they just agreed on some sort of arms deal....possibly making some jokes on Americans at the same time...
Posted by: exsgtbrown at August 28, 2007 12:18 PM
It's called making a deal with the devil. Just one picture like this should be enough to commit the United States to ousting this impostor. If you didn't notice before you should know now that he is no ally of America.
This really is disgusting.
Posted by: v4ri4bl3 at August 28, 2007 12:28 PM
Don't the Iraqis realize that they're trading one occupying force for another, much more brutal and unfriendly occupying force? Why is it okay for Iranians to be occupiers but not for Americans?
Oh right, because of their SPARKLING record when dealing with Iraqis.

The Jihad Awareness Project currently has 61 volunteers in 33 states.
WE STILL ARE SEEKING CITIZEN VOLUNTEERS FROM ALL 50 STATES, ESPECIALLY FROM THE FOLLOWING 17:
Alabama
Connecticut
Delaware
Hawaii
Kansas
Louisiana
Michigan
Mississippi
Montana
North Dakota
Oklahoma
Rhode Island
South Dakota
Utah
Vermont
West Virginia
Wyoming
I'm looking for at least two people in every state of the Union who would be willing to purchase a copy of Robert Spencer's Religion of Peace? Why Christianity Is and Islam Isn't and mail it, on an agreed upon date, to one of the senators in your state. I'm organizing an effort to get the book simultaneously to all 100 senators, in order to send a strong message. If we get more than two people per state, books can also be sent to the House of Representatives.
If you’d like to be involved, please write to me at traehnam@yahoo.com under the subject heading “Senate,” and tell me the state your senator represents, an email address where I can reach you, and a nickname. No need for your real name. And I will never share your email address with anyone, not even with other volunteers for this project.
And visit www.jihadawareness.blogspot.com to get more info on this project and to leave comments other volunteers can read. You can also see there the growing list of participants in this project, and the states their senators represent. I’ll try to update the list at least once a day. I've also designed a graphic that might amuse. Scroll down when you get to the site.
Once we have at least two people from every state, we can agree on a mailing date and then each of us can mail a copy of the book on that date.
Right before each of us mails the book, we can issue a press release to various media outlets in every state, and in that way announce and explain the mailing. And perhaps we can come up with some other ways of maximizing the effectiveness of this project and gaining as much positive attention as possible.
Congress is in recess until after Labor Day. But one of the project's volunteers suggested contacting Rep. Sue Myrick, who started the anti-Jihad caucus in Congress. I'll try to coordinate this project with Rep. Myrick to maximize its effectiveness. I've also been calling various congressional offices to get advice on how best to go about this. And I'll soon contact Regnery, Robert Spencer's publisher, to ask their advice and to see if we can coordinate with them in some way.

"blue-thumbed Iraqi democracy..."
-- from a comment by Robert Spencer above
Purple-thumbed, Robert. It's my adjective, and I'm sticking to it. Homo pollex purpureus. Purple-thumbed man. Nothing to do with rosy-fingered Dawn. Just as the bumbling policymakers in this Administration (and those of their critics who mirror-image them in wilful ignorance of Islam) remind us not of Homer, but rather of Homer Simpson.
Meanwhile, there are all kinds of wily Odysseusses out there, unentangled by any Circe, unentranced by any Sirens, unhindered by any Polyphemus, who are willing -- who are eager -- to work. Some of us, by god, need the money, and saving the world is a good gig, isn't it? I'm still waiting by the phone. I could have saved the country something like $700 billion of the $880 billion now spent or committed in Tarbaby Iraq. Okay, mail those offers in today -- and I mean it.
Homo pollex purpureus is not only the proper taxonomic Latin for those Shia voters in that famous election about which the sentimentalist and confused Bush continues to make so much, because he understands so little, about both Islam and about Iraq. And it lends itself to further use. For now, as the Americans seem to be encouraging their "Sunni allies" in Anbar Province, and attempting to force greater Shi'a concessions to the Sunnis of Iraq, and now attacking Shi'a groups right in Baghdad, many examples of that same Shi'a voter, Homo pollex purpureus var. Mes., can be seen giving the finger to the American soldiers. No, not that finger. I mean the thumb, in the downward dooming Roman manner: Pollice verso.

Appallingly disgusting! This photo of these two sub-humans needs to be plastered on the front page of every newspaper in the still ‘Free World’. What an utter farcical insult these two monkeys pose to the decency of the ‘civilized world’. Missing from this picture is the Bush-Baby licking at their feet getting ready for his next Ramadan P.R. stunt. The ugly (and inevitable) association between these two Shi’ite monsters is simply an insult to the thousands of American and Coalition Forces lives lost in this patty-cake, ‘hearts & minds’ Iraqi war. Sorry to vent but this picture just ‘says it all’ for me.
Posted by: descendantofacrusader at August 28, 2007 2:10 PM
As much as I (we) hate and loath this antichrist from Iran. Iraq needs to face realities with its neighbors. Based upon news articles posted these last few days these guys see each other as brothers. Lets hope that our interests are understood by Iraq as well? A naive statement I know.
Psa 31:11
I am scorned by all my enemies and despised by my neighbors- even my friends are afraid to come near me. When they see me on the street, they turn the other way.
الهيكل 31:11
انا ازدراء كل ما عندي اعداء والاحتقار بلدي الجيران حتى أصدقائي خائفون بالاقتراب مني. عندما يرون لي في الشارع ، انهم يحولون طريقة اخرى.

Gosh, I wish Israel had a PM who wasn't busy watching soap operas. A flyover of those nuke plants about now would shake things up.
If they had the furniture maker from Illinois back, we could fight one heck of a proxy war.

All the while, Sarkozy speaks of the bombing option (hey, better late than never),
Bush warns of "holocaust" if the munchkin gets the bomb,
Bob Baer's told his new book on current state of affairs there is about to change, rendering his book obsolete before it's out...in January,
Hezbollah unloading iranian missiles & heavy wares at Damascus' airport, with the lebanese army's help, Damascus well known as the hub of Al Qaeda,

From today:
Bush described the domino effects of failure in Iraq, and success—portraying the war in Iraq as the quickest way to put the entire Middle East on a path to democracy, economic expansion and stability that expels terrorist elements.

The difference between George Bush and Bill Clinton is that George Bush believes his own lies. Stubborness is only a virtue when you are right.

Bush said today that if Iran acquired nukes it wouild cause the ME to become more dangerous and cause a holocaust. he is setting up iran so that he may bomb them under this threat that all the world understands. Iran needs to take out and neutered.
Posted by: ZenaWarriorPrincess at August 28, 2007 7:08 PM
Bush doesn't need to set them up...they're doing a great job of that themselves, based on their rhetoric and the actions worldwide that reinforce said rhetoric, thus proving their murderous intent.

They're very different. The man on the left wears a tie. That means he is Western, secular, wide open to the world. The man on the right, on the other hand, doesn't.

The Brooks Brothers must be spinning at 3000rpm looking at Maliki and his suit. And for our hero (LOL) I think he has watched too many episodes of Columbo, I mean look at that overcoat! I expect him to start in with...."So, Nori....ahhh...just one more thing....ahhh......"

Isn't is stranges that Muslim men cannot hold the hand of a nonrelated women, but they are allowed and encouraged to hold othe men's hands and with big smiles.. lol
Posted by: ZenaWarriorPrincess at August 28, 2007 7:47 PM
Hugh makes a good point about the tie. Is it true that Muslims eschew ties because they resemble crosses (or something of that nature)? That's what I heard about why the "moderate" Tariq Ramadan doesn't wear one. Anyway, I do feel bad for Maliki--one almost gets the sense that he is too cultured to be in that whole mess. I could be wrong about him, though.
Also, I have to agree with ZenaWarriorPrincess--I saw it all the time in Cairo. Men walking down the street holding hands. They insist it's not a gay thing, but given how sexually repressed their cultures are, I kind of wonder.
Posted by: GetBornAgain at August 28, 2007 8:13 PM
(I am not homophobic and don't mean to suggest that it's "wrong" for men to hold hands--only that it may well be a symptom of sexual repression)
Posted by: GetBornAgain at August 28, 2007 8:15 PM
Observe the handshake, who's hand is on top? This handshake is used by martial artists because with your hand on top you can gain control of the individual if he tries to attack you. It also is symbolic of superiority. In this case, superior to what, and to whom is an unknown...but we can guess...

Excellent parody. I might suggest Chapter 8 though, titled, "the intrinsic value of being a mosquito in a nudist colony". That should make for a fun read.

...Is Ahmadinejad wearing a rug?.
Damned if you ain't right, exgtsbrown. He is wearing a rug. The gray flecks swoop over the top of the cowlick of but only about half-way up his too-narrow brain pan. Then, everything goes all dark as you approach his frontal lobes.
Disturbing.
Posted by: Alarmed Pig Farmer at August 29, 2007 5:04 PM
Where did this picture come from? Was it attached to the news story?
I wish I knew more about face-reading.
The body language and facial expressions in the photo are weird. The guy on the left (who is he?) gives off this vibe like "I just don't want to be here!!! help!!". And the expression of the chap behind Mr Ahmadinejad gives me the creeps.
