SOME IRAQI POLITICIANS WHO AREN'T LIFTING A FINGER FOR NATIONAL UNITY

Oh, those lazy, ungrateful "Iraqi politicians." Has anyone been more relentlessly attacked by the Dhimmicrat/MSM axis the past 6 months, even by some Republicans?

Well, we here at Jewish Odysseus strive above all for FAIRNESS. Iraqi politicians, like politicians everywhere, are human beings, and surely possess their human quota of venality, selfishness, pettiness, and cowardice. But being a politician in Iraq from 2003 to 2007 really presents a certain TYPE of challenge that politicians elsewhere almost never have to address: like how to complete a dinner visit with your brother without getting shot dead at the front door, or how to drive down the road without getting blown up, or how to do your job without having your whole family murdered while you're at the office.

Surely this challenge needs some recognition by fair-minded people everywhere? Yet how often do we hear about it?

Keep the following names and faces (and notice how many are faceless, it wasn't for lack of trying here!) in mind the next time you hear the Dhims and MSM braying about those worthless "Iraqi politicians". And remember one more thing: this is a very fractional, partial list, that doesn't include assistants to the big-shots, mayors of small towns and villages, lesser-known sheikhs, military officials, murdered family members, or those whose deaths may have been reported only in the Arabic press. If some readers would like to forward names we've missed, we'll be happy to add them to the roll:
