This is Maliki taking foolish advantage of a political situation, ingrateful idiot.
How about ungrateful ingrate?
Its no joke though if he’s really prepared to undercut Bush to such an extent. If anything, it rinforces the suspicion that Obama really is Muslim and Maliki is doing his bit to get him elected.
He must be feeling pretty good to be handing out money in the streets and making these statements. Actually as long as he’s a faithful ally in the WOT and allows our forward deployment to be housed in his country, it’s all good. Iraq needs a cocky leader. In the end, this is about our security, nothing more, nothing less. Bush had a great 7 year run to get it turned in the right direction. Inertia is starting to take over.
If Obama (god forbid) wins the presidency, it’s only a matter of time before Maliki is thrown under the bus...
