What's the basis for this statement?
You've been here long enough to know that Ifferd doesn't need a basis for any of his statements. He just throws out ludicrous statements with absolutely nothing to back them up.
Of course I, too, would like to know how Bush is responsible for setting up Iraqi law that provides immunity to parliament members, but I don't expect we'll get a straight answer.
Incidentally, Iraq has the ability to strip him of his parliamentary immunity and have indicated that they will do just that, although he's in Iran now and isn't likely to go back to Iraq anytime soon.

....... and has full IMMUNITY from prosecution or arrest thanks to the Bush admin.
Yep, he was convicted for bombing the US embassy in Kuwait in 1983, Reagan backed down and let him go, emboldening the terrorists, even after the suspect was named specifically and convited in a court of law.
Now thanks to incompetence in the management of the Iraq war by the Bush/Chenney/Rove propaganda machine, this convicted terrorist is a serving member of the Iraqi parliment...
AND,,,
Heappears to bebacked by Iranian covert forces and has aided their attacks in Iraq against US and Iraqi forces,,
Only the Iraqi parliment has the power to remove him from office according to a CNN interview with a senior Iraqi official on 2-6-07.

Sydney Morning Herald: James Glanz and Marc Santora in Baghdad
February 8, 2007
A MEMBER of Iraq's Parliament was convicted of planning attacks on the US and French embassies in Kuwait in 1983 that left five Americans dead, Iraqi and US officials have claimed.
The MP, Jamal Jafaar Mohammed ali Ebrahimi, was sentenced to death in absentia by a court in Kuwait for the attacks, the officials said on Tuesday.
Mr Jamal, as he is known, was elected to Parliament in 2005 as a part of the Shiite coalition that now governs Iraq.
"We are actively investigating these serious allegations and continue to be in contact with the Iraqi Government to pursue this case," said Lou Fintor, a spokesman at the US embassy in Iraq.
The bombings in Kuwait led to at least seven Americans being taken hostage in Lebanon, and several other terrorist acts aimed at freeing 17 prisoners sentenced to death for the bombings.
The hostage-takings also led to a scandal in the administration of the US president at the time, Ronald Reagan, as Washington sought the hostages' freedom with the offer of a secret arms deal to help Iran, which was then at war with Iraq.
Mr Jamal, who was in Iraq until a week ago, is now in Iran, according to two associates. The presence of a wanted terrorist in the Parliament of Iraq's US-backed Government is an embarrassment for the US, particularly given Iran's role in sheltering Mr Jamal.
This sure makes Bush look like a jackass... But yet many on this forum defends this jackass and makes excuses after escuses for him. WHy I ask. He is our leader and commander they say. Let's see them defend the next Democrat prez because he or she is commander and chief and decider. Let's see how many defend that person with excuse after excuse as they do Bush. I don't see it happening.. Any bets????

Talk about a "slam dunk" georgepoker. You NAILED it there.
LOL. It's amusing to watch you guys. You won't respond to the inaccuracies in your own post, but when someone posts a short little rant of name-calling and nothing to substantiate their argument, by golly, they NAILED it.
What, exactly, did Poker nail? That Bush is a jackass?
Oh, you guys.
I'm still waiting for you fellas to show us how Bush is responsible for this (but could you do it by posting facts instead of simply saying "he's a jackass.")
