Iraq rules out amnesty for those who kill

How many blogs does certain anti-Bush loons have to write about something that didn't even happen?

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq's prime minister said Wednesday that several insurgent groups have shown a willingness for reconciliation, but that any amnesty for insurgents would exclude militants who killed American forces or Iraqis.


Prime Minister Nouri-al-Maliki said several insurgent groups have contacted his office since he unveiled his 24-point national reconciliation plan on Sunday.

"Many contacts have been made since the initiative was declared," al-Maliki said on national television. "We are still waiting to meet directly with these groups and speak with them in order to bring them to the political process."

Al-Maliki also made clear his call for an amnesty for militants would not include those who killed U.S. forces or Iraqis.

"Any amnesty for insurgents will exclude fighters who killed Iraqis or soldiers of the multinational forces because these troops came to Iraq according to international agreements and they are contributing in making the political process successful," he said.

How surprising. I notice the media had no problem doing multiple stories about the plan before it was even introduced. Just another example of the media and liberals here who make up the news, instead of report it.

Of course the MSM didn't trumpet this all over the front page... it is actual fact instead of their normal alcohol induced lies.
