Iraqi FM blames coalition's "geriatric ambassadors" for mess
This is sweet! The Mayberry Machiavellians have been blaming the Iraqi Governing Council for dragging their feet towards self-rule.

Bush administration officials have criticised the 24 members of the Iraqi Governing Council for failing to attend meetings and pursuing personal interests at the expense of the coalition's agenda to restore Iraqi self-government.

But, the Iraq foreign minister, is blaming BushCo, calling their "experts", "geriatric ambassadors". BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

"The problem with the coalition is that they have some experts, so-called, who still live in the 1950s, in the 1940s - some geriatric ambassadors who have a certain interpretation of how Iraq works. It has gone, it has changed," Mr Zebari said.

1. Is this what they meant whn they said- "the adults are back in charge?"
"Adult" is fine, but "out of touch" is never a good thing...

5. Mmm....perhaps not some women. Condoleeza's idea of cleaning
is probably to raze it to the ground.
