Apparently, hundreds of thousands of Christians worshipped freely in Iraq under Saddam, but now, with the pinhead in command, it's turning into an Islamic state...
Wonder how that goes over with the Pat Robertson crowd?
Christians fleeing Iraq
http://www.bartcop.com/wirq08.jpg
Iraq's Christian community is close to extinction as thousands are forced to flee Baghddad. Islamic extremists have increasingly targeted Iraqi Chrisitans demanding they convert.
An exodus of Christians is under way in the southern district of Dora after groups affiliated to al-Qa'eda issued a threat of "convert or be killed".
Most have fled to Kurdish northern Iraq, where the village of Ankawa has grown into an overcrowded "city of Christ", while others leave for Syria or Jordan.
Priests claim that half Baghdad's pre-2003 Christian population - estimated in the hundreds of thousands - has fled or been killed. They also claim that the Iraqi government is failing to protect them.

LOL, getting back on topic, Saddam's regime was so secular that even a
Christian, Tariq Aziz, was a key man in Saddam's government.
Anyone know how many Christians are in the current Iraqi government?
Any in any major roles?

Something like 2 million Iraqis have fled Iraq since the invasion. Not counting the thousands that have died. You freed them Bush.

Warriors complete historic upset of Mavs
(AP)
Baron Davis knew his tender hamstring would limit him, so Stephen Jackson took a huge load off Golden State's do-everything star.
Davis and Jackson shot the ragtag Warriors right into the second round, capping perhaps the NBA's biggest playoff upset with yet one more memorable performance on their home floor.
Davis willed his team on one good leg, shaking off a strained hamstring to score 20 points, Jackson made a franchise playoff-record seven 3-pointers, and Golden State became the first No. 8 seed to capture a best-of-seven playoff series with a 111-86 victory over the NBA-best Dallas Mavericks in Game 6 on Thursday night.

Yeah. He's here as a fan of the Broncos, not as a volunteer for the Democratic National Convention.
Your timely disappearances and reappearances are a bad strategy. You should have someone fill in for you while you are in political offseason.
Or you could change your name to LA DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION INTERNET PROPAGANDA DISTRIBUTION VOLUNTEER
