Understandbly, the ME istuation is sucking much of the oxygen from the room, but what about the OTHER crisis that continues to unravel, with Americans and (mostly) Iraqis dying every day... and the country on the verge of splitting wide open?
MSM, what the f*ck is wrong with you? Not even a MENTION this morning? Not 2 f*cking minutes in your blanket coverage of the Lebanon/Israel crisis? Not even a moment to acknowledge the latest American/Iraqi casualites? Are you hoping we will all FORGET what's going on over there? Explain why cannot SPEAK and provide us with NEWS about this most important, significant event which thousands of families have sons/daughters over there in that hellhole.
No WONDER the internet is leaving your asses in the dust. BUH-BYE, MSM.
http://www.news.com.au/sundaytelegraph/story/0,,19878574-5006506,00.htmlIRAQ'S president and prime minister announced the formation of a 30-member commission Saturday to promote national reconciliation, even as the speaker of parliament said coalition forces should leave the country.
"The commission will immediately begin its work, holding conferences and meetings, and it will prepare a media campaign for reconciliation," President Jalal Talabani told a joint news conference with the prime minister.
"This is an Iraqi initiative for those who are part of the political process," Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said, adding that there was much interest in the initiative from people outside the process, including disaffected army officers.
The announcement moves forward Mr Maliki's program of reconciliation first presented on June 25 to bridge sectarian gaps that threaten to tear the country apart and have taken it to the brink of civil war.
"I don't think al-Qaeda has been successful in its objective (to promote civil war)," said National Security Advisor Ahmed al-Rubaie, "but I admit there are cracks in national unity."
