Its roof appeared to have collapsed, with rubble strewn around the area, footage from The Associated Press showed.<br /><br />Iraqi officials and allied militia leaders have been saying since last week that they are in control of the battlefield. They said that they had surrounded the handful of Islamic State fighters remaining in Tikrit, and that full government control would be restored there in a matter of days.<br /><br /><br />There has been intense international pressure to avoid civilian casualties and revenge attacks on people or property in an offensive by a mostly Shiite force in a hub of the so-called Sunni triangle. Around two-thirds of the pro-government force is made up of the mostly Shiite militias now known as popular mobilization forces.<br /><br /><br />As the days pass, critics are asking why the government’s 30,000-strong force has been unable to dislodge the last Islamic State fighters — and whether the reduced pace is a bad sign for future efforts to root the militants out of their self-declared capital, the much larger city of Mosul.<br /><br />“There is a minimum amount of Daesh fighters in Tikrit,” said Alaa Makki, a former lawmaker and a member of the mostly Sunni Islamic Party, using an Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS or ISIL. “They are controlling the situation there — wow!”....<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/17/world/middleeast/islamic-state-tikrit-iraq-offensive.html?_r=0Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-56414122564738478652015-03-16T18:51:41.475-04:002015-03-16T18:51:41.475-04:00Speaking of "embarrassing:" It appears ...Speaking of "embarrassing:" It appears that 20,000 "WARRIORS OF GOD<i>tm</i>" have gone on strike, and refuse to go against a couple of hundred headcutters without air support from The Great Satan.<br /><br />:)<br /><br />Just too sweet.Rufus IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297231055991566183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-20964612952483218482015-03-16T18:49:11.850-04:002015-03-16T18:49:11.850-04:00and they all want justice!and they all want justice!Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16688752302081088907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-24517379080234377422015-03-16T18:48:20.450-04:002015-03-16T18:48:20.450-04:00Pretty good! though there are many peas and pods ...Pretty good! though there are many peas and pods that don't smell like roses in area righteous all of them.Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16688752302081088907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-51804859133082413582015-03-16T18:33:48.105-04:002015-03-16T18:33:48.105-04:00You never could distinguish between your left hand...You never could distinguish between your left hand and your right, Rufus.<br /><br />It doesn't surprise me that you can't see the difference between black and white or distinguish up and down, either.<br /><br />Stick with alternative energies and don't a fool of yourself any longer.<br /><br />It's embarrassing.Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-77036860182889443142015-03-16T18:00:27.036-04:002015-03-16T18:00:27.036-04:00ISrael does prefer al-Qeada.

That claim was subsequently rejected by Herzog as “claptrap.”<br /><br />The bombshell came 12 hours before polling stations were set to open, in an apparent last-ditch effort to garner additional votes.<br /><br />Livni said the rotation agreement ought not interfere with her party’s main task: replacing Netanyahu’s Likud party.<br /><br />In a response to the announcement, Netanyahu told Channel 2 that the decision reflected the Zionist Union’s “panic” — an accusation echoed by Herzog, who in turn said Netanyahu was the one “panicking.”<br /><br />Netanyahu told the TV station that the move proved two things: “One, that they’re lying. Either they lied earlier [when they announced the rotation], or they’re lying now. And the second thing is that they can’t deal with any pressure. They can’t deal with the pressure of the polls, how will they be able to deal with international pressure?”<br /><br />Shortly after the announcement, Bennett predicted that the decision to give up the rotation signaled that the Zionist Union would form a unity government with Likud, implying that a vote for his right-wing party could help prevent such an outcome. Lapid, similarly, told the TV station the move signaled that a national unity government between the two large parties, as well as the ultra-Orthodox parties, was in the works.<br /><br />Herzog denied the allegations as “nonsense” in a telephone interview with Channel 2. He said the decision was not a matter of “last-minute pressure,” and said “Livni nobly and bravely told me this initially on Saturday.<br /><br />“Ultimately, she approached me today and told me honestly — if the rotation is in some way an obstacle to the establishment of the government, I won’t stand in the way,” he said.<br /><br />Livni, No. 2 on the Zionist Union list, had initially agreed to a two-year rotation of the premiership if the Zionist Union was tasked with forming the coalition. The Hatnua-Labor merger was criticized by members of the Labor Party, who said that Livni was getting more than she offered to the party. However, the political union, and subsequent re-branding of the party, sparked a surge in the polls.<br /><br />On Sunday, Haaretz reported that during a Zionist Union campaign meeting, Livni said she was willing to forgo the rotation. But strategist Reuven Adler opined that such a move, announced so close to the election, would be detrimental.<br /><br />Two hours before the announcement, Herzog emphatically denied that the two were set to cancel the rotation agreement. “There was no discussion about [whether to cancel the rotation] in the past week. It’s not on the agenda, period. The partnership between Livni and me brought us to [where we are] today. It is an important partnership,” Herzog told Army Radio.<br /><br />The Likud party had bashed the alliance between Herzog and Livni, a former Likud member herself. Throughout the campaign, the party repeatedly commented on Livni’s “disappearance” from the public eye, a move that she explained several weeks ago as a tactic to keep the spotlight on Herzog, who, she said, was less well-known than she.<br /><br />Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.<br /><br />Read more: Livni forgoes rotating premiership with Herzog | The Times of Israel http://www.timesofisrael.com/livni-forgoes-premiership-rotation-with-herzog/#ixzz3Ua1E1Lkh<br />Follow us: @timesofisrael on Twitter | timesofisrael on Facebook<br />Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-91427484226010758742015-03-16T15:29:08.416-04:002015-03-16T15:29:08.416-04:00Clients, he said, only have strong opinions, and i...Clients, he said, only have strong opinions, and it was always a relief to talk to the opposing lawyer, who would inevitably know something.<br /><br /><br />The idea of having billionaires fund the elections has so many holes in it, practically and constitutionally, that I don't know where to begin.<br /><br /><br />Wonderful long call from my Niece.
