DRAW MEDIA Tweets:
Moqtada's cousin offered a solution. Where's Nouri al-Maliki? He's agitating for a law regarding the media and griping about them. Why? Social media's abuzz with a supposed complaint filed by the Central Bank of Iraq with Iraq's Supreme Court. Some say it's a fake, some say it's real. But it's managed to defocus Nouri at present.
Meanwhile, the US government is in conflict over what to do with regards to Iraq. Continue to do the same thing -- as represented by trashy Brett McGurk -- or move forward with something new?
Joe Biden wrongly listened to Brett in 2010. If he truly is senile and unable to learn, expect him to again do as he is told by Brett.
