But why, we ask, are tens of thousands of our soldiers still occupying
the nation Dumbya destroyed?

IRAQ
"Veto threatened on election law"
Iraq's Sunni Arab vice president threatened Sunday to veto the
country's election law unless changes are made giving Iraqis living
abroad more guaranteed seats in parliament, throwing the January vote
into question.
The veto threat comes a week after lawmakers passed the long-delayed
legislation, paving the way for national polls in January. Any delay
in the voting could derail a U.S. plan to withdraw combat troops from
Iraq, a process scheduled to ramp up after the election.
Tareq al-Hashimi gave parliament until noon on Tuesday to amend the
election bill and ensure greater representation for voters outside
Iraq, most of whom are Sunni.
