Thanks for the heads-up!

Oh boy! This could be interesting in a Chinese definition of the word sort of way.

Iraq will only become a unity government when Maliki becomes ready to crack down on Sadr's militia.

I wonder how the Dems will play this? Rhetorically, they've been commpletely against the Iraqi people. However, their voting record has been strongly with the President. Ah, I love politicians!

The Rats are going to play it and unfortunately because the new Iraqi government seems to make movements in slow motion the Rats will win on that point being that there is 100+ killed a day.

Will John Kerry deign to meet this Iraqi leader? Or is he holding out for Saddam?
