Reason #1,499 that the Iraqi war has become a mockery of our intentions. When Republicans sit around the campfire at night wondering why they are in the wilderness they might just take a gander at items like this absurdity. I am a Conservative Republican who hasn’t given one red cent to the Republican party in a good long time.
Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi said he had received an official apology from the top U.S. general in Iraq, General David Petraeus, in a meeting with Lieutenant-General Lloyd Austin, the number two U.S. military commander in Iraq.

Our very top General in Iraq spent quality time apologizing to the “Vice President” of Iraq. And that apology wasn’t good enough for Hajji.
One of the guarantees I received from General Austin is that they are committed to showing respect to holy sites and traditions of the Iraqi people … But I don’t believe that is enough.”
No Hajji wants us to have all the US soldiers protecting his sorry ass and those of his people, who it might be said he could NOT protect without the US Soldiers, sign some sort of promise that they will respect hajji’s traditions and customs. Like the one where you behead prisoners…oops no not that one. Maybe they mean the one where they get to murder any woman in sight if said woman might complain about the size of their…ego. Yea ego.
Hashemi said he told Austin that American soldiers should be required to sign an agreement to respect holy sites and the cultures and traditions of Iraq.
“I asked that this document is distributed today to American soldiers and officers and that they sign this document. So that if they violate this they will be held to account and face the most severe punishment in the future,” Hashemi said.
Most severe punishment…hmm that freedom of speechy thing hasn’t quite filtered up to the leaders yet has it? Hajji and his fellow compatriots should be left to their own devices. We should keep troops nearby and stomp them if needed. But this trying to teach a bunch of tribes how to act like they weren’t raised by wolves is just so much bullshit. I am tired of hearing about Hajji. I never signed on to teaching hajji how to build the most advanced civilization in the world. Hell we couldn’t even teach the French how to do that. Hat Tip Allah Pundit at Hot Air.
