IraqÂ’s Shiite prime minister and Sunni lawmakers hurled insults at one another during a raucous session of Parliament on Thursday, with the prime minister threatening a Sunni lawmaker with arrest and the Sunni speaker of Parliament threatening to quit.
The article goes on to detail the stormy parliamentary session (humorously linking Sunni parliamentarians and "critics" of Bush's plan as skeptical of Maliki's likelihood to crack down on Shi'a). For 27 paragraphs. Then, in the 28th paragraph ....
Eventually, though, the tensions eased and Parliament approved the security plan.
Hmm, any questions about why even a majority of war supporters often display panic about the situation in Iraq? Non-stop, 24/7 distortion - this is far from the worst, of course - and something approaching silence from the guvamint. Heard a clip of Cheney yesterday. He made a reference to media failure, showing they're aware of what's going on. But no response, not in the game, lo these years later, after the country is spooked, panicked, and whining like a little girl. Outrageous.
