Chances are this is a move by Maliki for some behind the scenes diplomacy. Another attack like last week on US forces will force Bush's hand in all this.

I still would appreciate it if Freepers would write their congressmen and demand action against Iran for supplying IEDs.

there is no one to write to

Senators including Hagel, George Voinovich, R-Ohio, and Joseph R. Biden Jr., D-Del., sounded frustrated with the administration's decision not to engage Iran and fellow outcast Syria in efforts to reduce sectarian violence in Iraq.

Bush doesn't have any more time to play diplomatic games with Iraq, that time has past. If the gloves don't come off now, pull the troops, there is no reason to keep subjecting them to fighting a war with their hands tied.
