IRAQ FIGHTING FOR FALLUJAH

In the early hours GMT of 23 May, the Iraq's Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi  announced the start of a major offensive to retake Fallujah from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group, which was quickly followed by reports of heavy shelling in the city.

I wish speedy and total victory to the forces of the Republic of Iraq.  The faults & tensions in the Iraqi government which were exacerbated by the blundering & incompetence of the Anglo-American invasion with Tony Blair's over simplistic 'democracy good, dictatorship bad' (maxim he doesn't apply to Saudi Arabia, China or other countries that are financially useful to Britain or himself. Tony Blair has been well paid by  Saudi oil firms as a business envoy to China too.Going from one country with a terrible human rights record to another with no compunction despite being a former PM whose role was to uphold legal and constitutional ethics).

Saddam Hussein warned that he and his security forces were 'keeping on ice' theocratic fundamentalists. Those have been further inflamed by the internecine conflict, lack of political control and recruitment  by exploiting non-Iraqi's ignorance & gullibility to be seduced by quotes from ultra-conservative clerics from 800 years ago.

Retaking Fallujah will end the government of rape, murder, misogyny, suppressing girls education, under age sexual relations, slavery and torture that ISIL have inflicted on a nation that was one of the birth places of civilsation &  was progressive not so long ago.
SUPERINJUNCTIONS! Don't like this?Sue me!

Everyone including Mongolia & Vanuatu can read about which 'celebrity' (ie self important egoist) has gone running to the courts to try to hide a tedious part of their life that the media has uncovered.

Unless you are in England where celebrities have the power to censor the internet via the courts, yet you can read terrorist manuals & terrorist recruitment sites! -NB years ago I read the Al Qaeda terrorist manual; it consists of school level chemistry, a Hollywood movie from 70 years ago & the accusation that  "Muslim women are having their heads shaved"(!)    I have committed a criminal offence by reading the manual, contravening Terrorism Act 2006.  So if you had a chemistry book at school or have seen an Edward G Robinson movie you have broken the law under the Terrorism Act.

I couldn't care less what Elton John or his husband David Furnish choose to do.  I am offended that Elton John's early very good albums were followed by bland pop albums.

The High & Supreme Courts have the purpose of judging the most serious matters. Instead a number of celebrities, with enough money, exploit the system, because they think that when they cheat on their partner the public will be interested. In fact the many adulterous relationships that occur are either ignored or momentarily in the news and then forgotten.  Ozzy Osbourne's infidelity ( Sabbath mad fan  here) is only remaining in the news because Sharon 'lies about her non existent role early in Ozzy's career & has prevented Bill Ward from rejoining Sabbath' Osbourne.is using it as part of the upsurge in her TV appearances.

In addition to Elton John wasting Supreme Court time, he has given an egregious interview to the Daily Mail describing  his 'perfect marriage' which only serves to draw attention to his attempt to hide the non cause celebre .that he has turned a tiny molehill into a mountain.  

Elton John has used the courts before to try to hide parts of his personal life. Everyone is entitled to a private life but for those who are famous enough to be reported on, they gladly pose & give interviews when it suits them, and so by trying to coverup a trivial matter, they merely conflagrate a momentary interest into a prolonged issue and a matter of freedom of the Press and legal ethics.
