you know as we have was just pointed out by president hashmi is on trial for running death squads do we really believe that the former head of the as lawmaker recchi party isn't capable of running death squads not saying hashmi is guilty but i'm saying it's not on the face totally ridiculous bob it looks like you want to jump in there go ahead. you know i don't know that we know from washington whether or not hashmi it's guilty clearly the person who surrounded his home back on the fifteenth of december was maliki's son with tanks you know that seems to be a bit bizarre to me we need to recognize that yeah this is an iraqi political crisis and now you have solder who's running away from maliki primarily i think because he has his own political ambitions which you know but that's solder and he has for some time you know we also have to take into account the crisis that's going on next door with bashir assad you know i think some of that is beginning to have an end in impact even in iraq which of course has never been terribly stable since the beginning of the war in zero three. john y
