All very confusing

Sunday, September 14, 2008

Iraq is our ally, at least I believe it is. Israel is our ally. In fact, according to Sarah Palin, we should never ever second guess anything it chooses to do. So why has the Iraqi Parliament just revoked legislative immunity for a member of that Parliament who had the temerity to visit Israel, and […]
