This is John Kerry's worst nightmare.

[RandallFlagg]

Hammer, meet gravity.

This development has to have Charles Schumer and Edward Kennedy defecating tacks. Just when they thought the Patriot Act was going to die a natural death, here it is resurrected in Iraq. Only the Iraqis really mean to apply it.

We are THIS CLOSE || to restoring strongman government in Iraq. But a different strongman, this time.

"remaining firm against people who have committed atrocities and have committed crimes against the people of Iraq and against the coalition forces that have come to help us overcome tyranny."

You are 100% correct. When the Iraqi government says the above, then we have Iraqis making the tough calls and us acting as enforcers until they get on their feet.

[yoe]

The Iraqi people now in charge are doing what they must and doing it well to gain law and order - sometimes you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet.........

Hands Off media and other liberal sycophants...

[The Mayor]

Bump for Iraq

[Damocles]

Boy, this is gonna' hack off all those Iraqi Libertarians...

[ConservativeMan55]

LOL!

The new laws give Allawi the right to impose curfews, to conduct search operations and detain individuals with weapons, once he receives unanimous approval from the Presidential Council. They also give him the right to assign governors, including military leaders, in specific areas, and they empower him to freeze the assets of suspects and monitor their communications.

Allawi signed the law earlier in the day, officials said.

Oh, the dems are NOT going to like this........

"Iraqi police also defused a car loaded with 1,650 pounds of explosives Wednesday..."

Good job by the Iraqi Police.

So now youve got the Coalition and all its firepower trained on the Iraqi terrorists, The new Iraqi government supporting terrorists demise, this "salvation" group vowing to kill Zaqari , and no doubt many Iraqi civilians joining in on the rebuilding of their country and providing intel.

Summer will be very painful for the terrorists in Iraq. Even more so that in the past. They better watch their backs, indeed all directions.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Good move.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Time to put cordons around those nasty towns in the Sunni triangle.

[ConservativeMan55]

"I am deeply saddened."

[No Blue States]

Its looking like that will happen, great Idea too.

Further isolation for these scum, as we pick them off a dozen at a time.

Great Idea to close the border with Iran too, the terrorists assets are quickly diminishing.

Allawi impresses me. He is an Iraqi hero.

[No Blue States]

In him much deep saddness we sense. heheh

Iraq has become the Dem quagmire.

[ConservativeMan55]

Iraq has caused Tom Daschle to go on suicide watch.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Allawi impresses me.
He is an Iraqi hero.

Me too, he looks like the REAL DEAL!!

[Blood of Tyrants]

That is why we are still there to encourage him to stay on track for general elections.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Seal off the border with Syria also. So nothing gets in or out of Syria or Iran.

Game set match.
