Talabani the Terminator

There’s been some rare good news out of Iraq, as President Jalal Talabani announced today that Iraqi forces will take over all security in Iraq by the end of the year. Because apparently Talabani subscribes to President Bush’s “Say it ’til it’s true” method of leadership.

Despite the current unrest, Talabani said, quote, “We are highly optimistic that we will terminate terrorism this year.” Of course, Talabani is using the traditional Iraqi calendar, wherein one year is equal to approximately one thousand years.

Talabani’s goal seems particularly unreasonable since, three and a half years into the war, the U.S. is still in charge of 17 of Iraq’s 18 provinces. Fortunately, the rest of Talabani’s speech put things in perspective as he stated, “I am also highly optimistic that I will bang Angelina Jolie by the end of the year. And I am highly optimistic that she will totally love it.”
