And of course there’s also St. John McCain’s messy divorce as well.

But none of this will ever be obsessed on by our allegedly scandal-obsessed media…because it’s not a scandal if you’re a Republican.

The reason TradMed focuses on the Clinton Marriage is because we, the great unwashed voters, aren’t going to be told anything about her policies. Alone among re-elected Senators from blue states, she is mum on Iraq. She colluded in the fellatio-fest that was the Gates confirmation. She ignores the progressives-of-faith call to denounce WalMart for selling the Left Behind video game while joining with LieberTroop to denounce other “violent” games (and gamers and inattentive gamers’ parents).

In short, the Money Party sees, wonder of wonders, that the front-runners for both “Party” nominations are its premier suck-ups, Old Lord McCain and Lady Unprincipled Clinton. And the Money Party is delighted!

Seriously, folks, do you really think a Clinton Deux Presidency would have a shot in hell at fixing America’s health care crisis? Or that a Clinton Deux Presidency would change course on Iraq/Iran/Syria/Palestine? The likelihood of more war goes up whichever “choice” wins in 11/08 — and that makes the Money Party money!

Pretty good.

The pattern is identical and very very blatant, in each case it has been in an area that’s heavily patrolled by SCIRI controlled forces. In each case it has been in an area to which to gain access you have to go through checkpoint after checkpoint after checkpoint controlled by SCIRI forces. In each case it has been in an area in which to move around you have to go through checkpoint after checkpoint after checkpoint controlled by SCIRI forces. In each case it has been in an area in which to leave you have to go through checkpoint after checkpoint after checkpoint controlled by SCIRI forces.

Here’s what happened today you can see very easily how it fits the pattern. It’s important to know that SCIRI control Karadah.

A large convoy of SUVs identical to those used by Interior Ministry forces arrive at the building. In this case there were at least 10 SUVs. Even by current standards that’s a pretty hefty convoy.

A large number of gunmen storm the building – in other words there was shooting, a lot of shooting, between them and those guarding it.

Nobody came to investigate the shooting. Both the SCIRI controlled Interior ministry and the SCIRI controlled Defense Ministry deny that anyone reported it. The SCIRI controlled police deny that anyone reported it.

In this particular “incident” the gunmen also attacked the Dutch Embassy and captured three of the embassy guards. Are we supposed to believe that the embassy didn’t call for help?

The kidnappers go through the building fairly quickly but very thoroughly – in other words they knew the layout of the building – the plans for buildings such as the Red Crescent Building are on file, you get absolutely no prizes whatsoever for guessing which ministry has those files.

According to people present in the Red Crescent building the gunment “in the uniforms of” the SCIRI controlled special forces took the time to confiscate all the mobile phones they could find.

They even recorded on video cameras brought along for the purpose what they were doing. Don’t believe me?

“A woman who was present at the scene when the gunmen stormed the building told VOI ‘the kidnapers took all the mobiles found with the people present at the office while one of the attackers was recording the kidnapping with a video camera.’ “

The gunmen then drove off taking their victims with them.

Brigadier Abdul-Karim Khalaf (appointed by SCIRI), denies all knowledge of any details of the incident, despite the fact that those detail are being broadcast on several radio stations and carried on Iraqi news sites.

Brigadier Abdul-Karim Khalaf (appointed by SCIRI), makes a statement saying that the SCIRI controlled Interior ministry and the SCIRI controlled Defense Ministry, and the SCIRI controlled police, are busily engaged in setting up check points, roadblocks, and “making investigations.” – Yeah right. The good brigadier doesn’t have far to look.

Neither do the American advisers in the Ministry to whom he reports directly.

Let it not be forgotten that a senior Red Crescent Official complained on Friday that the biggest problems the organisation have are with the American invaders.

Citizen Respectful Dissent:

“…wouldn’t it be nice if the political reporting focused on her, you know, politics?” Yes indeed, but she doesn’t want that, she WANTS the focus on her marriage and her struggles as a woman in the big, bad male dominated world. She is usin’ the corporate media to hide her politics. That’s why the bloggosphere needs to draw her into responding to political questions, get her into the debate and then knock her ass back to the Rose law firm.

KEEP THE FAITH AND DON’T BE AFRAID TO TAKE ‘EM ON!!!
