Deja Bloody Vous


Oh stop please, find a more credible line, how many times have I heard this uttered around the globe over the past fifty years?

"It is not accurate to say that the United States is occupying Iraq," said White House spokeswoman Dana Perino. "When it comes to the coalition forces being in Iraq, we are there under the U.N. security council resolutions and at the invitation of the Iraqi people," she said.


Saudi King Abdullah surprised Washington on Wednesday by telling an Arab summit that,
"In beloved Iraq, blood flows between brothers in the shadow of illegitimate foreign occupation and hateful sectarianism, threatening a civil war."

Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns, testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee acknowledged the administration was "a little surprised to see those remarks" and would seek clarification from the Saudis.

Seems clear enough to me. Article.
