Well, it's not the first time Columbia has hosted a double-talking nasty with a curious approach to the Jewish Question. Yet while all the major papers lead with Ahmadinejad's pop-in, a much more significant event related to the Middle East has transpired today in the Big Apple: Iraqi PM Nouri al-Maliki has asked that his comments before the Council on Foreign Relations not be quoted by the media present.
The indispensable IraqSlogger reports (though damn it for being pay-only and for blocking the cut-and-paste function on its posts) that Maliki informed the press pool that anything he said during meeting, which was thrown together by Newsweek's Fareed Zakaria last week, was "not-for-attribution." It's the first time a government leader has issued such a diktat at one of these run-of-the-mill meet-and-greets hosted by the think tank that publishes Foreign Affairs. So it begs the question: What's he got that's worth hiding?
I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.
This is very interesting, You’re a very skilled blogger. I have joined your rss feed and look forward to seeking more of your fantastic post. Also, I have shared your web site in my social networks!
Bizarre this publish is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it was indexed at the first page. I guess your doing something right if Google likes you enough to position you at the first page of a non comparable search.
Perhaps you should also a put a forum site on your blog to increase reader interaction.”,-.”
