Another proud moment

  • BULLY BOY PRESS &     CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

  • ELIZABETH WARREN -- THE WOMAN WHO KEPT THE LAST NAME OF HER FIRST HUSBAND DESPITE REMARRYING 16 YEARS AGO -- DECLARED CRANKY CLINTON TO BE "A TOUGH COOKIE."

    SHE THEN HAILED MINORITY LEADER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES NANCY PELOSI AS "A REAL CUPCAKE."

    SHE ALSO INSISTED SENATOR PATTY MURRAY WAS "A SWEET HONEYBUN," THAT FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA "A SWEETIE PIE" BUT THAT SENATOR BARBARA MIKULSKI WAS "A TINY PRUNE."

    CRANKY CLINTON HAILED IT AS "ANOTHER FEMINIST MOMENT" IN HER SELF-PROCLAIMED GROUND BREAKING CAMPAIGN.


    FROM THE TCI WIRE:




    ALSUMARIA notes that the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan announced that US forces were backing Iraqi forces on the ground in Nineveh Province.  The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan is one of the three main political parties in the KRG (the other two being the KDP and Goran).  It was created in 1975 and the head of it remains Jalal Talabai who served as President of Iraq from 2005 to December 2012.  He continued to hold office through 2014 but, in December of 2012, he suffered a stroke.   The incident took place late on December 17, 2012 (see the December 18, 2012 snapshot) and resulted in Jalal being admitted to Baghdad's Medical Center Hospital.    Thursday, December 20,2012, he was moved to Germany where he remained for approximately a year and a half, returning in July of 2014.


    During the time he was in Germany, the Talabani family insisted Jalal was fine while refusing to allow people to visit him -- including the then-Speaker of Parliament Osama al-Nujaifi.

    When the first wave of rumors that Talabani had either died or was permanently  incapacitated, took hold in May, Jalal was posed for a series of photos that appear to indicate his body was present but that was all.

     The photos were compared to the film Weekend At Bernie's in Arabic social media.  (In the 1989 film, Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman play two men who drag the corpse of their boss, Bernie, around and pretend he's alive.)


    The Talabani family was down playing his condition.  By doing so, they allowed him to remain as president when he actually should have been removed from office because he was unable to carry out the duties of the president.

    Hillary reveals her plan

  • BULLY BOY PRESS &     CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

  • CRANKY CLINTON GOT CAUGHT LYING YET AGAIN.

    REACHED FOR COMMENT, CRANKY TOLD THESE REPORTERS, "YOU JUST DON'T GET IT.  I'VE LIED SO MANY TIMES NOW NO ONE CAN EVEN REMEMBER THEM ALL.  I'M IMMUNE NOW TO CHARGES OF LYING -- WHICH WAS MY PLAN ALL ALONG."


    FROM THE TCI WIRE:



    US President Barack Obama has been bombing Iraq daily since August of 2014 and we're all supposed to pretend that is working.

    Pretending requires forgetting that on June 19, 2014, Barack insisted the only answer to Iraq's crises was a political solution.

    Since August of 2014, there's been no work on a political solution, no diplomatic infusion, just bombing -- just bombing and US Secretary of State John Kerry mistaking himself for the Secretary of Defense.


    The bombings don't address the issues that led to the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq.


    At Australia's ABC, Zaid al-Ali observes:


    The issue isn't whether the rule is Shia or not, it's what sort of rule they're subject to. It's certainly better than ISIS, but it's not good enough. What Baghdad needs to do to make sure that Sunnis and Shia and Christians and atheists are satisfied with their rule is to completely reform they're institutions.
    So far, that's something Baghdad has been completely incapable of. Until that happens Iraq will be extremely vulnerable to terrorist attacks, to infiltrators, to civil unrest. That's the recipe for the next few years at least.



    Again, this isn't being addressed with bombings.


    The attempted liberation -- or 'liberation' -- of Falluja continues.


    How's that going?

    Well, for one thing, it's going with more US involvement in what is undeniably combat.

    Yesterday, US Secretary of Defense Ash Carter declared, "In that connection, while we're still in Iraq, perhaps worth mentioning that in the last 24 hours I guess it was, the commanders have used the Apache capability that we positioned there and that the president authorized them to use some months ago when they found an opportunity when that might make a difference. And that did occur and an ISIL target was destroyed as a consequence of  that."

    We'll note the remarks in full that the above was pulled from but we need to emphasize that this was a new development. Tom Vanden Brook (USA TODAY) explains, "Their use represents a deepening of American involvement in the war against the Islamic State, also known as ISIL."  Barbara Starr (CNN) points out, "The U.S. had been pressing the Iraqi government for months to accept the offer to call in Apaches to help across Iraq in the fight against ISIS. The offer was rejected by the Iraqis in their campaign to retake Ramadi, but the U.S. official said the Iraqi government recently accepted the support."
