Calls for calm as crowd stones Iraqi PM Maliki
http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=newsOne&storyID=2006-11-26T144427Z_01_COL153081_RTRUKOC_0_US-IRAQ.xml&WTmodLoc=Home-C2-TopNews-newsOne-2

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Angry fellow Shi'ites stoned Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's motorcade in a Shi'ite stronghold of Baghdad on Sunday in a display of fury over a devastating car bomb that tore through their area.

Maliki was visiting the Sadr City slum to pay respects to some of the 202 victims of last week's devastating bombing.

"It's all your fault!" one man shouted as, in unprecedented scenes, a hostile crowd began to surge around the premier and then jeered as his armored convoy edged through the throng away from a mourning ceremony.

1. It is starting to look more and more like that trip to Jordan will
be on a one-way ticket.

Let's see, who's next? Will they bring back Allawi? Install al Sadr? Finally let Chalabi give it a try? Hell, someone's even suggested bringing back Saddam.

What a cluster.

4. Yeah, you're probably right. If he wasn't actually there in the flesh,
I'm sure he was there in spirit. Holding the biggest rock.

7. I vote for Saddam.
If we can't make things better, we may as well make them interesting!
