SUNNI BLOC ENDS BOYCOTT IN IRAQ

Just another story that we have to look to the foreign media for an honest report. The mainstream media continues to mislead the American people, and even worse, fails to report the story at all. The BBC has this story, reporting that the Sunni bloc has ended their boycott in Iraq.

John Podhoretz has an interesting article in the New York Post. He claims that George W. Bush will get his way again on Iraq. Why? Several reasons.

The best part of Podhoretz's article is the following "Teddy Kennedy will bloviate. Carl Levin will castigate. Harry Reid will susurrate and Chris Matthews will hyperventilate."
