Iraqi Irony

The Iraqi national Assembly chose Jalal Talabani as the nations first president of the sort. While Talabani, a Kurdish leader, was emphatically against Saddam Hussein, his name does allow for irony for U.S. "War on Terror" fans. Of course, Mr. Bush, Mr. George Bush's cocaine-induced lust for war began with an attack against Afghanistan, bombing the Taliban in Jalalabad (or Kabul, whatever, shut up!). Delicious.

The Iraqi national assembly has an ironic sense of humor, choosing a man named Jalal Talabani as president. Fans of the "War on Terror" noted the irony.


The national assembly also chose two vice presidents, but who cares, the prime minister holds most of the power.
