Coup still possible - (Iraq) VP
Source: Voice of Iraq

BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: It is still possible that a military coup might take place in Iraq if circumstances continue to deteriorate, Iraqi Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi said on Friday.

“A coup is possible to happen if the ruler violated the constitution and law by exclusively dominating military and security decisions,” Hashemi said in a release received by Aswat al-Iraq news agency.

He said that he is worried because developing democracy in Iraq has been violated.

“Those who claim they are keen to make the political process in Iraq a success should show determination to spread justice, respect the constitution and enforce the law,” he added.

2. Or an excuse
An excuse thatll be used to stay. "The Conditions on the ground" will determine withdrawl is a bad idea.


We haven't finished tapping that war. The MIC is hungry, as are the oil & building companies see profit

4. I was wondering what happened to Mr. Al Sadr the other day.
He must be ruler in waiting in Iran.

8. Dummya said we brought freedom and democracy to Iraq. I guess they didn't want them. Maybe
Edited on Sat Mar-06-10 04:13 PM by No Elephants
we can finally get them back?

In fairness, the Constitution we gave Iraq incorporated all of Sharia law by reference, so it's only democracy and freedom for women, if the men decide to let them have it.

Fuck Colin Powell, Chalaby, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Poopy Bush and his defective son, Condi, Yoo, United States Circuit Court Judge Bybee, Alberto Gonzalez, Marcia Godwin and all the rest of the criminals.
