Through yesterday, Iraq Body Count counts 30 violent deaths in Iraq so far this month. National Iraqi News Agency notes that a Mosul car bombing left two people injured, a Falluja bombing claimed the life of 1 police officer and left another injured, a Mosul roadside bombing claimed the lives of 2 police officers and left a third injured, and the corpse of a murdered woman was found in Diwaniyah Province. Alsumaria notes that an "ambush" in Nukhaib has left 14 security personnel dead and a Tikrit bombing has left two Iraqi soldiers injured. That's 18 deaths and six injured.
Aswat al-Iraq notes, "Premier Nouri al-Maliki expressed Iraq's concern, today, on the protest events taking place in Turkey. In his Face book site with journalists, he expressed concern on the increasing violence in the region." That's cute.
Nouri wants protesters treated with respect. Reminds me of Monday on NPR when Peter Kenyon was blathering on about how the White House had warned Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan not to use violence on the protesters. I believe over the last days in Turkey, two protesters have died. That's appalling and no one should ever die from protesting. But the White House never condemned Nouri when protesters started dying in Iraq. And then came the the April 23rd massacre of a sit-in in Hawija when Nouri's federal forces stormed it. Alsumaria noted Kirkuk's Department of Health (Hawija is in Kirkuk) announced 50 activists have died and 110 were injured in the assault. AFP has been reporting 53 dead for weeks now -- indicating that some of the wounded did not recover. UNICEF noted that the dead included 8 children (twelve more were injured).
After that, still the same nonsense from the White House, still the same, "We call for peace on both sides" wimpy nonsense from the State Dept. But when Turkey has a protest that's apparently not seen Turkish forces get as violent as Nouri's thugs have, the US immediately condemns. That's such nonsense and it goes to the double standards of the White House.
Today National Iraqi News Agency reports:
The MP, of the Iraqiya coalition, Hamid al-Mutlaq criticized statements made by U.S. Vice President Joe Biden on the division of Iraq into three regions also criticized the silence of the government and the Iraqi politicians towards this project, which described dangerous and threaten the unity of Iraq, land and people.
He told the National Iraqi News / NINA / on Wednesday 5, June: "The project of occupying Iraq in 2003 is a destructive and divisive project that Iraqi people rejected it uniformly but there are still some of those in power who cooperate with the occupation through secret treaty did not announce to the Iraqi people, including Biden's project. "
And that's all we're doing. I'm on the iPad and I've tried different browsers, I don't know what's going on right now with Blogger/Blogspot. I've switched to HTML because in regular mode the curser is going backwards. And you've got to do programming code in HTML because none of the buttons are working. Maybe I need a new iPad. But I think this is a Blogger/Blogspot problem. (And this entry is fixed a few minutes after it posted because a friend called with a code to type in which moved all the punctuation to the end of the sentences and not the start. I have no idea what was going on there. But thank you to ____ for figuring out how to fix it.)
Re: previous entry. Six phone calls asking, "Are you sure? I think the line is 'Gee, I really like Aunt Rhoda'."
No.
That is not the line. That lie got started with the book Love Is All Around when they quoted Jay Sandrich saying that. I don't give a damn what he said. You don't quote a script from a recollection.
The source material. Always go to the source material. "Aunt Rhoda's really a lot of fun. Mom hates her," is the line.
Click here for Hulu, for the first episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show entitled "Love Is All Around." Stream it. Bess has only one scene where she talks about Aunt Rhoda. It's in Mary's apartment with the curtains closed. When the curtains open, we see Rhoda on the other side of the glass cleaning it. Phyllis closes the curtains on her and leaves, Bess delivers her line and leaves, Mary opens the window and lets Rhoda in and, after pleasantries, Rhoda declares, "Get out of my apartment." I don't have time to stream it, but I don't need to. I know the lines. Anyone who thinks I'm wrong can go stream the episode and discover, no, I'm not wrong.
