Is Bush an asshole? -------------------- All the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was the one in charge. "I should be in charge," said the brain, "Because I run all the body's systems, so without me nothing would happen." "I should be in charge," said the blood , "because I circulate oxygen all over so without me you'd all waste away." "I should be in charge," said the stomach, "because I process food and give all of you energy." "I should be in charge," said the legs, "because I carry the body wherever it needs to go." "I should be in charge," said the eyes, "Because I allow the body to see where it goes." "I should be in charge," said the rectum , "Because I'm responsible for waste removal." All the other body parts laughed at the rectum and insulted him, so in a huff, he shut down tight. Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache, the stomach was bloated, the legs got wobbly, the eyes got watery, and the blood was toxic. They all decided that the rectum should be the boss. The Moral of the story? The asshole is usually in charge!

what do you say about this one gr-ass-o? Palestinians in Iraq threatened with extermination by the Iraqi militia: Where is Jimmy Carter now? debka.com DEBKAfile Exclusive: Moqtada Sadr ends boycott of Iraqi government and parliament in move to avert Iraqi-US crackdown on his Mehdi Army militia in Baghdad January 21, 2007, 10:58 PM (GMT+02:00) He has also warned the Palestinians living in Iraq, most of them Sunni Muslims, they will be killed unless they leave the country immediately. The Sadrist parliamentary bloc of 30 and its six ministers ended their two-month boycott Sunday, Jan. 21, clearing the way for Shiite PM Nouri al-Maliki to muster majority support for the planned US-Iraqi security crackdown in Baghdad. This was one of several steps taken by Sadr to save his Mehdi Army militia, the largest Shiite private army, and their strongholds in Baghdad’s Sadr City from being targeted as the source of much of the sectarian violence besetting the capital. Sheik Mahmoud El Hassani, spokesman of Sadr’s militia ordered all 20,000 Palestinians living in Iraq to quit the country or face death. He said the Palestinians, for whom Saddam Hussein provided housing and money, had brought their suffering on themselves by joining forces with Sunni extremists and al Qaeda and for killing Shiites in the Saddam era. “They lived off our blood under Saddam. We were hungry when they were comfortable. They should leave now or they will have to pay,” said the Shiite sheik. Moqtada Sadr is maneuvering to avert a clash between his militia and beefed up American forces, while at the same time continuing his sectarian onslaught on Sunnis. To be on the safe side, he has ordered his men to melt into the 2.5 million inhabitants of Sadr City and hide their weapons. His tactic is to keep his powder dry in the coming months until the Iraqi-US forces massing Baghdad pull back. He will then re-activate his militia and send them into battle to take over parts of the capital. He hopes the US and Iraqi forces, seeing the Shiites falling back, will turn their guns on the Sunni insurgents instead. By turning his Mehdi Army against the Palestinians, Sadr wants to win points for helping the Americans quell Sunni extremists and al Qaeda and divert their offensive away from his militia. When the Americans invaded Iraq in 2003, there were 40,000 Palestinians living in Baghdad, most in the Haifa Street district, today a Sunni insurgent-al Qaeda stronghold. More than half have been driven out and killed. Thousands of Palestinian refugees are stranded on the Iraqi-Jordanian border which has been closed to prevent them crossing into the Hashemite Kingdom. No Palestinian leader, whether Mahmoud Abbas or Hamas, has intervened to alleviate their hardship

Here gr-ASS-o.... Jordan and Syria Refuse to Accept Refugees Expelled from Iraq 22:39 Jan 21, '07 / 2 Shevat 5767 Arabs forcibly expelled from their homes in Iraq are stranded in a no-mans land as both Syria and Jordan refuse to accept them. The Arabs, who the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) refers to as Palestinian refugees, were forced out of Iraq by rival militias. They are 735 people living in two tent camps called the Al-Hol and Al-Tanaf camps Almost 150 people have been living for over three years in the Al-Ruweished refugee camp on Jordan’s border. Though most are far younger than the State of Israel, their status as descendents of Arabs who left or were transferred from the fledgling Jewish state during the War of Independence has seen them labelled Palestinian refugees by aid organizations and the Arab states who refuse to rehabilitate them. Despite the fact that these Arabs were just expelled by fellow Arabs and denied entry or aid by the Arab regimes bordering their camps, the UN, as well as NGOs writing about their plight focus on their status as Palestinian refugees. “Largely as a consequence of their expulsion from their own homeland by Zionists upon the imposition of the state of Israel in 1948, about thirty-four thousand Palestinian refugees lived in Iraq,” an organization called al-Awda, which works to win return for Arabs who left Israel and all of their descendents and relatives, wrote. “According to the UNHCR, a total of about 19,000 Palestinians have left Iraq since 2003, and only 15,000 remain.” In the years following the War of Independence, more than 600,000 Jews were forcibly evicted from Arab countries. Israel accepted the Jewish refugees, gave them citizenship and rehabilitated them. The Syrian and Jordanian US embassies can be emailed at: Syria: gh1@syrembassy.net Jordan: HKJEmbassyDC@aol.com
