I am curious CJ. How do you feel about that? They are a soveriegn country. Allbeit, a puppet democracy right now. But as such. I think it is within thier rights.

betrayus is an administration puppet and a consorter with convicted felons and other criminals like ahmed chalabi. can you name ONE, just ONE thing on which betrayus have ever diverged with white house policy?

uhm, dont you mean the architect of the massive bribery campaign to make millionaires out of allies of al-queda with american blood of thier hands? let me ask you somethign jimbob, how to do you feel about betrayus using your hard earned tax dollars to bribe out soldiers killers to stop kiling them?

oh, and you claim that malikis 7 month diffeence with obamas timeline is “signifgant” …how does that 7 month difference compare to the 99 year difference between malikis and mccains?

oh and how do you feel about the government we’ve helped set up in iraq throwing royal welcomes for iranian heads of state? does that figure into your definition of ‘victory’?

From IHT
After Obama sat down with al-Maliki in Baghdad’s heavily protect Green Zone, government spokesman Ali al-Dabagh, who is very close to the Iraqi leader and sat in on the meeting, said Baghdad was not interested in troop withdrawal plans that arise out of the American presidential campaign but “in a real timetable the Iraqis have set.”

When asked for a date, al-Dabagh said, “up to 2010.”

That would match Obama’s pledge to remove U.S. combat troops within 16 months of taking office and reinforces al-Maliki’s reported support for that timetable in an interview published last week in Der Spiegel, a German magazine.

“After a day spent meeting Iraqi leaders and American military commanders, Mr. Obama seemed to have navigated one of the riskiest parts of a weeklong international trip without a noticeable hitch and to have gained a new opportunity to blunt attacks on his national security credentials,” Richard A. Oppel Jr. and Jeff Zeleny write in The New York Times. “The central tenet of Mr. Obama’s foreign policy is suddenly aligned with what the Iraqis themselves now increasingly seem to want.”

Buhbye

But did Malaki approve the article in German (let me assume he doesn’t speak German), or in his native tongue. If the former, the endorsement doesn’t count !!!!
/snark

There fixed it for you.

**crickets**

Excusez-moi, but “facetious” means to jest. I don’t think the US military was jesting.

I’m not so sure Keith. Everything Bushco has touched has become a “cruel joke”. Facetious sounds right up their alley.

I’m dizzy from all the spin…

PEACE

Plus, the “denial” was issued by CENTCOM. Not al-Maliki’s office.
