I'm confused about why Larry Tribe, who fought the Clean Power Plan on behalf of Big Coal, has a right to talk here.
One would think Mr. Tribe had no right to speak about anything.
But he loves the sound of his voice and he has had a longterm affair with self-pleasure.
Nothing gets Mr. Tribe hotter than dirty talk -- spoken by his own voice, spoken to himself.
He drives himself crazy.
He is the object of his own lust.
Once you grasp that, you understand why someone as insane as Mr. Tribe would keep speaking when no one else wants t hear him.
This is C.I.'s "Iraq snapshot" for Tuesday:
Tuesday, August 8, 2017. Attention focuses on a bombing the killed several militia members.
14 years and counting -- how's that war on Iraq 'improving' lives?
That's 'progress.' 14 years later and counting.
Do you remember, Val, that the Iraq War continues?
Valerie Plame was at war with her own agency. The CIA is often at war with itself. It's probably the only thing that's prevented its complete takeover of America. Val stomped her feet and made a spectacle of herself.
For those who don't remember, she was outed by the administration of Bully Boy Bush.
For Val, the whole issue is Val.
She's never really been able to speak to Iraq, of the ongoing war, of the dead.
But damned if she couldn't hop in a convertible to pose for VANITY FAIR.
Vanity's not fair and Valerie Plame's self-obsession goes a long ways towards explaining why the United States is still in Iraq.
A book deal, Naomi Watts playing her in a movie, and Val's hungry ego has still not been satisfied. Some day, it may be and she may get around to actually talking about Iraqis.
The Iraq War hasn't helped the people of Iraq.
Now it's even hurting the thugs in the militias.
Most infamous for their attacks on Sunnis and their publicly professed loyalty to Iran, Iraq's Shi'ite militias number a few less as a result of a US action.
XINHUA reports:
A paramilitary Hashd Shaabi unit said Tuesday the U.S. forces pounded its posts near the border with Syria and killed dozens of its militants, warning that the attack will not go without punishment.
The U.S. forces carried out "heavy bombardment on Monday morning on the posts of Sayyd al-Shuhadaa Brigades in Akashat area near the border with Syria, leaving large number of martyrs and wounded fighters," the unit said in a statement emailed to Xinhua.
It said that group "holds the U.S. forces the responsibility for the consequences of the action. We declare that it will not go without punishment."
AHLULBAYT NEWS AGENCY also notes the statement from the militia:
The “criminal forces” of the US heavily pounded the positions of Sayyid al-Shuhada Brigades along the common border between Iraq and Syria which led to the martyrdom and injuring of a large number of fighters, the statement said.
“We declare that this move will not go unpunished,” the statement read.
ANADOLU AGENCY counts 30 militia members dead and eighty more injured in the bombing. BBC NEWS also goes with 30 dead but counts eighty-five injured.
BBC also notes the denial from coalition forces that they were involved in the bombing:
PRESS TV adds, "In the statement, the brigades called on the Iraqi government to launch an extensive investigation into the incident, while noting that the US’ actions will not remain unanswered."
Some feel there are additional motives behind whatever happened:
And here's another view on social media:
The status of the militias is being debated in Iraq. Prime Minister Hayder al-Abadi has made them part of the military. Shi'ite cleric and movement leader Moqtada al-Sadr has stated they need to be under government control or disbanded.
Among the reasons some people distrust the militias?
(A) Many have publicly stated they answer to Iran.
(B) They are known for War Crimes.
Turning to politics, last month Ammar al-Hakim left the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq to form a new party National Wisdom. Now Ammar is stating that creating the new party does not mean leaving ISCI. IRAN FRONT PAGE reports:
However, in an interview with the Mehr News Agency, he said the formation of the new party does not mean breaking relationship with the members of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq.
“Since 2009 and after the relative failure of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq in the political arena of the country, we came to the conclusion that the structure and approaches of the council need some sort of reform in order to restore its position according to the facts in the Iraqi society,” the Iraqi politician added.
“This approach has been discussed for a long time at the higher levels of the council, but for some reasons it was not accepted by some colleagues, and finally we decided to form a new party.”
Hakim also pointed out that the management of the new conditions in which the young generation of Iraq came into existence need to be reviewed.
“We are trying to take a fresh look at how to attract more of this generation,” he added.
“There is not going to be any negative competition between us and our friends from other groups, especially in the Supreme Council. I am the same Seyyed Ammar, but we should take into consideration that getting updated in the field of political action needs change in some approaches, especially in relation to the new generation of Iraqi society,” Hakim noted.

Does anyone remember the Iraq war and how well that worked out?

Allegations of #Coalition strikes vs. Popular Mobilization Forces near #Iraq - #Syria border are INACCURATE. No Coalition strikes there ATT
PRESS TV adds, "In the statement, the brigades called on the Iraqi government to launch an extensive investigation into the incident, while noting that the US’ actions will not remain unanswered."
Some feel there are additional motives behind whatever happened:
- its ridiculous to expect true support from USA. Ocupators can never be supporters for any cose that could lead to independence.
I agree. I was just referring to the Iraqi PM's dependence on coalition Air support/funds mentioned by @Elly_Ammar.
- I guess they're pretty much trying to push Iraq to choose between US and Russia.
And here's another view on social media:
#US created ISIS.US sponsors, arms, defends ISIS. US acts as ISIS's airforce, bombing anti-ISIS Iraqi Shi'a fighters
