Bush, Rice Urge Iraqis to Avoid Civil War
AP - 2 hours, 55 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Hoping to help prevent Iraq's bloody sectarian violence from turning into civil war, President Bush on Friday urged Iraqis to exercise restraint in a critical "moment of choosing." Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called on political factions to renew efforts to form a unity government. Bush praised Iraq's political and religious leaders who have taken steps — apparently with some success — to halt the unrest that exploded after Wednesday's bombing of one of Shiite Islam's holiest shrines. Almost 130 have died in that attack on the Askariya Shrine in Samarra and in the wave of deadly reprisals that followed.

This is a BIG FISH tale.

"Iraq ..... the lunker (democracy) that got away"

[Silence Dogood]

That's like the whole world urging the U.S. not to invade Iraq.

Wasn't it GIM's very own little-O who said, "when a government - any government - says 'up,' I say 'down'?"

That's wisdom for the 21st Century IMO.

And so, with that in mind, when the smirking chimp at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. or Ms. gap-tooth in her mini-skirt tell me, "we don't want" such-and-such a thing, I just recall little-O's sage words and think, "like Hell you don't!"
