re: #171 callahan23

I was refering to the tissue fixative and embalming agent usage. What where you thinking of? How can anyone disinfect dem-thoughts?

OT but only slightly;

The One’s diplomats in Iraq are now pressuring Maliki to form a coalition with some Baathist elements- specifically, the ones who fled Iraq when Saddam fell and have spent the last six years trying to overthrow the new Iraqi government;

New York Times

They think it’s “unreasonable” of Maliki to refuse their “requests” just to “placate Shiite elements” (their words).

Right. They want him to make nice with people who have been trying to kill anyone who sides with him- for what? To restore a government in Iraq which hates us only slightly more than it hates most of the Iraqi people.

I’d call the “diplomats” involved idiots, but that would be insulting the entire concept of idiocy.

/Was it Leo Durocher who said, “Doesn’t anybody here know how to play this game?”
