Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

What does a child have to do with the change in rules of engagement?

I'm sorry. What did you take "rules of engagement" to mean?

The public wants to be protected from Islamic radicals killing them and that's what the President has done. If he hadn't then I could understand some complaints.

The Iraqi government is an Islamic radical group. Maliki is Dawa party and without Al Sadr's 30 votes, he doesn't have a coalition government, which means if he orders troops into Sadr city he won't be prime minister any more. (kinda like us with Lieberman, only we aren't a parlimentary government)

The atrocities in Iraq are largely being committed by the party in power. Men in police and army uniforms, trained by us... kinda like SAVAK I guess.

This is going to be a bloodbath. By June you'll see that, but you'll blame liberals in America. Of course.

I can't go further right now. New England's still in the playoffs (chuckle) and I'm going to watch them.
