WHAT "VICTORY IN IRAQ" MEANS...

Forget about Sharia Law being part of the Iraqi Constitution. It looks like we have replaced an enemy of Israel with an enemy of Israel.

BAGHDAD -- Parliament on Sunday suspended legal immunity for secular Sunni lawmaker Mithal Alusi, opening him up to possible felony charges for traveling to Israel last week to participate in an international counterterrorism conference.

Alusi is the only Iraqi politician in recent years to publicly visit Israel, a country declared an enemy of state by Iraqi law, and he used the occasion last week to accuse Iran of sponsoring terrorism and interfering in Iraqi affairs. At the end of his appearance he called for relations with Israel and other nations to fight terrorism.

Ayad al-Samarrai, of the Iraqi Islamic Party, called Alusi's visit a betrayal of his oath of office "as the Zionist Entity is described as an enemy of the State of Iraq in Iraqi law."
