Did you listen to the President's speech this morning? Al-Maliki has only been on office five months, what do you expect really? It's going to take time. I agree with the President as long as Al-Maliki continues to make tough decisions we are going to support him. Plus what choice do we have? He was democratically elected. The Iraqis will get rid of him if he is ineffective. They like strong leadership.
Unfortunately, it is looking more and more like Maliki is a Sadr puppet.
I expect him to STOP STANDING IN THE WAY of our troops and the Iraqi forces going after the Mahdi Army and the Badr Brigade. He's cried "foul!" twice now when we've ventured into Sadr City which is where the current troubles are originating.
I expect him t STOP making public appearances with Muqtada al Sadr like he did in Najaf last week, calling for the U.S. to release a high-ranking Sadr terrorist.
I expect him to STOP appeasing that trash from Iran. Iran has NO BUSINESS in Iraq.
I expect him to work with us in stablizing Iraq, not agaisnt us AND THE IRAQI CITIZENS.
If he expects to last he better stop kissing Sadr's ugly butt.
When has al-Maliki made tough decisions??????
Maliki and Sadr both are shiites and we are infidels in their eyesight.
