“Those who make such statements are bothered by our visit to Syria. We will pay no attention. We care for our people and our constitution and can find friends elsewhere,” al-Maliki said.

Those spilling their blood and paying for your reconstruction have every right to set timetables. This guy is a buffoon.
So are our elected who INSIST we rebuild Iraq. This man will be gone soon and in his place will be Saddam the Second chosen by the Islamic leaders. Then Bush will have his chosen by the people government in Iraq. IOW we are wasting our time and resources in Iraq doing nation building. If not for lucrative contracts going to certain corporations we would be out of there. That is the sole reason we are building Iraq as it is a corporate gold mine to a few companies providing U.S. taxpayer paid services there. There will never be a free Iraq.
No worries.. Our new Sunnis buds will take this guy out sooner or later..
This guy is the leader of a duly elected sovereign government. At least that's what we say. Seems to me if Condi and Pelosi and the local dogcatcher can go tango with Assad, his next door neighbor can too. As for timetables, they are bunk to begin with. But this speech imo is meant for internal consumption. Maliki knows he needs us.
