Holy Crap...now that the Iraqi government has declared open season on Americans (and any furriners) in Iraq, life is about to get more miserable than ever in Mess O'Potamia...no shitsky.
Leaders of Iraq's sharply divided Shiites, Kurds and Sunnis called Monday for a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S.-led forces in the country and said Iraq's opposition had a ``legitimate right'' of resistance.
The final communique, hammered out at the end of three days of negotiations at a preparatory reconciliation conference under the auspices of the Arab League, condemned terrorism, but was a clear acknowledgment of the Sunni position that insurgents should not be labeled as terrorists if their operations do not target innocent civilians or institutions designed to provide for the welfare of Iraqi citizens.
I guess that the 1600 Crew has managed, through their whole lack of foreign policy, prior planning or understanding the dynamics of the use of force on a global scale, to paint a target on the back of every American Soldier in Iraq. Great job guys.
It's interesting to see the MSM doing interviews with guys who have returned from Iraq who say that we should stay and "finish the job". I wonder how this will change their perspective. The Iraqi Government, in seeking to attempt to minimize casualties among their countrymen in a war they don't support have given cart blanche to the "evil-doers" to kill everyone else. I guess that none of the brilliant NeoCon Asshats ever heard of the Law of Unintended Consequences...
How's that Strong on National Security thing working out for you now, Ken Mehlman et al? Nice job with the target affixing thing...Asshats.

While I tend to agree with you on most things, I think you misinterpreted this one.
They didn't declare "open season" on Americans in Iraq. They simply acknowledged the point that attacking military targets belonging to a military that has invaded your country is not terrorism. Not all of Iraq agrees that we are "foreign invaders", but apparently they now recognize that some Iraqi feel that way.
