Meanwhile Back in Iraq……
Lawmakers from parliament’s largest Sunni bloc walked out Saturday[/tag] in protest of the arrest of their leader. Iraq’s army says they have offered to escort the leader from his home, but the leader, Adnan al-Dulaimi, claims they have not. He’s been confined to his home in a standoff for three days.
Iraq is overrun with theft and bribary. Everything from school books to electric meters are on the black market.
Turkey made good on promises to attack the PKK inside of Iraq when they used artillary and airstrikes against the group Saturday. Turkey reports it inflicted heavy casualties on the PKK militants. The U.S. military says it has no reports of Turkish military action within Iraq. Riggghhhhttt!
Iraq’s Shiite Muslim leaders are very worried about the U.S. campaign to turn Sunni Muslims against Islamic extremists. They fear the U.S. is creating an armed force that could one day turn against the government.
