Iraq: Sunni MP quits politics, joining resistance
2007-06-30
My favorite headline for today
Sunni legislator Abdul-Nasser al-Janabi said Saturday he is quitting parliament and joining the "resistance" because the political process has failed.

Al-Janabi, a member of the Iraqi Accordance Front, said "there is no alternative in Iraq other than quitting the political process and returning to armed resistance" because the Americans and Iranians are running Iraq.

He spoke to Al-Jazeera television from Amman, Jordan.

His decision came a day after his bloc suspended its participation in Cabinet meetings to protest the way Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki handled legal proceedings against one of their Sunni colleagues

#4  Apparently it's someone else's fault but his own. Gotta be that way, you know.

AFAIAC, he probably just made it formal because he was about to be found out.

#3  This is the primary problem with Muzzies and Leftists.

Their definintion of a working political process is one in which they get their way regardless of what anyone, or everyone, else wants.

I didn't get my way? ATTACK!!!!

#1  More likely he was already in the resistance, and quit politics to flee to Jordan. With whatever cash he had managed to divert to his personal account during his government service.
