Per the New York Times, in a story getting little airplay with swine flu fears the U.S. and Iraq are supposed to start negotiating exceptions to the June 30 deadline for American troops to start withdrawing from Iraqi cities.
It’s pretty clear the U.S. Army’s brass hats want to stay in Mosul, Iraqi government be damned.
And, in the ultimate weaseling, Camp Victory is considered to not be a part of any city – but that weaseling is bipartisan between both countries’ armies.
Gear up the Badr Brigades?
Anyway, this is why the MSLBs are slipping, IMO. None of the bigs among "liberal" blogs has covered this in any real way.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
