The GOP couldn't find one Iraqi to endorse Bush's illegal invasion
and speak at the RNC. Out of a nation of 24 million (minus the 50K we've wasted) isn't that somewhat telling? Did anyone else see this as a glaring ommission at the RNC?

3. They had an Iraqi woman speak
We were convinced the GOP would find a “liberated” 14-year-old Iraqi girl to sing the National Anthem, but instead, delegates will hear from one Zainab Al-Suwaij. An Iraqi woman and longtime foe of Saddam who was frequently showcased by Bush supporters as an Islamic voice in favor of the war, she heads the American Islamic Congress, which says it’s dedicated to “building interfaith and interethnic understanding.”
