U.S., Iraqi leaders try to smooth over friction

BAGHDAD, IRAQ — With recent events in Iraq causing growing strains between the Bush administration and the Iraqi government, the two governments issued a tautly worded statement through the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad on Friday renewing their commitment to work together for peace and security.

The statement, remarkable for the fact that the two governments found it necessary, followed a meeting between Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. ambassador. The three-paragraph joint statement issued afterward appeared aimed at tamping down frictions between the two governments while countering a growing perception in Baghdad and Washington that the increasingly grim situation here is driving a wedge between them.

Yo al-Maliki, we are willing to leave any time you want us too. Say the word.

You know, your two posts have to be some of the most excessively STUPID posting every posted here. In a board with such a long rich history, that is a MAJOR accomplishment. Your posts are ultra, completely mega stupid. We will have to come up with a whole new classification of stupid to adequately address your level of idiocy. World Record Stupid! Rock hard dehydrated stupid! Lifetime Achievement Stupid! So stupid it MUST be a lost fragment of the primordial soup from with all imbeciles since have sprung. It sets a whole new standard by which stupidity will be judged from now on! Quick, call the Nobel Comittee. We have to estabish a whole new Nobel Prize for World Record Stupidty just so this poster can be award it!!!

I applaud your courage. Most people attempt to hide their moronic natures but not YOU two. NO, you FLAUNT your morondom. You proudly cruise the Internet squealing "WE ARE THE WORLDS LARGEST IDIOT". I must say I have NEVER seen anyone so willing to make peace with a painful personal truth as you have embraced your imbecility. Well done brave souls!

This whole controversy about their discourse was just more MSM fiction all because Maliki said he's his own person.

Maliki cant have it both ways. He cant support Al-Sadr, the mouthpeice of Iran (especially with his cronies taking over towns like Amara last week), get pissed because he wasnt "informed" one of Al-Sadrs death squads was getting taken down and at the same time pretend hes on our side. Its your country, chum - get with the program!!
