Baghdad slammed with twin bombings

"Jabberwocky."

That's what Ava and I have dubbed the piece we're working on.

We've been working on it forever.

When it's done, it's going up at THIRD and we don't care if anything else is ready or published.




And she tries hard to tell this story
But it's a hard one to tell
She consults her book of Miracles
-- "Juliet," written by Stevie Nicks, first appears on her album THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MIRROR

It's not a piece we planned to write nor one we wanted to.  So when it's done, we're done with it and better go up right away.

If you need pleasing tales, run away from it because it's harsh and unpleasant -- a great deal like life right now.


With regards to Hawaii yesterday, a strong point:




  1. Hawaii got terrorized by a (non-existent) missile threat today. Can you imagine what the people who are threatened, killed & wounded 24 hours every day by real missiles in Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan .... feel like?




Meanwhile AMN reports Baghdad was slammed by twin bombings leaving at least 16 people dead and 64 more injured.  Patrick Cockburn, want to tell us again about how wonderful and peaceful you found Baghdad during your brief stop overs recently?  Didn't think so.  Quit selling war, whore.

: Number of killed and injured reaches 79 following twin bomb blasts in early morning.

By the way, whore also describes the actress who reTweeted Bill Kristol.  May everyone who gives a damn about Iraq condemn that whore.  She's had it too easy for too long.  (Read Ava and my piece, she's among the ones we talk truth on.)

Meanwhile, it's left to movement leader and Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr to grab the higher ground that the US government and so many others abandoned.

ALARABIYA reports:



The leader of the Sadrist movement political party, Muqtada al-Sadr, criticized the new electoral alliance of Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi with the Iranian backed Popular Mobilization Unit (PMU) militias.
Sadr, one of the most influential religious and popular figures in Iraq, issued a statement issued on Sunday describing the alliance as “an abhorrent political agreement.”
He also expressed his deep surprise at the inclusion of the PMU militias calling them an “abhorrent sectarian dichotomy,” that is aimed at reproducing a “corrupt political class”.



Again, this is what the US government should be saying.  But it's all about getting Hayder re-elected and not about Iraq or freedom or democracy.
