This morning the United Nations Security Council issued Resolution 1860 regarding the brutal hostility against the Gaza Strip. This resolution's wording employs malicious, political cunning, as used previously in Resolution 242, after the hostility in 1967, which mentions withdrawal from "territories," without specifying withdrawal from "the territories," and thus granting the state of Jews scope to remain on territories that it seized!

The Iraqi cabinet yesterday (16th November 2008) approved the security agreement with the US government and referred the agreement to parliament for ratification.
