Does Juan Cole consider Iraq US’ territory?

Dear friends,

Juan Cole writes in today’s blog entry:

Sunni Arab guerrillas are targeting civilian airlines in the US.

I went to the link provided and I read a NYT article titled:

Pilots Say Missile Was Fired at Airliner in Northern Iraq

Also this article doesn’t say anything about the “Sunni Arab guerrillas”.

But the question is: Does Cole consider Iraq US’ territory?

Hopefully Middle East expert Juan Cole will pay more attention to what he posts on his blog or he will not be invited anymore to give talks at the US State Department

Below, two more items about the expert

Best wishes,
Gabriele

“I’m reminded of Juan Cole’s short-lived campaign in favor of bombing civilians in Iraq in order to get American troops out while keeping the oil (yes, that was the argument!).”

UPDATE: Juan Cole has now completely deleted that news item from his blog. Not corrected, deleted. Cole! Cole! Cole! It's because of bloggers like you that we have a bad name
