MORE MALARKEY - Nouri al-Maliki
by belezabub

flip flop flip flop flip flop, like a fish fresh out of the euphrates in the shiia wetlands.

haveing listened to this man for several years now there is no telling what he will say for he will say anything. a long time ago he said he wanted us out, immediately. then he wanted us to say forever. then we could stay but must make plans to get out, later. now he is saying there will be a time table. tommorow that will change once more.

when are they going to have an election to make a decision on whether they will keep this dancer? of course maybe they like his ambiguity. is it a stereotype that all middle easterners blow with the wind or is it just a fact. maybe that is just human nature in a dynamic stressful situation.

however it should not be up to him. we should make the rules as its american blood and bucks that are being expended. set down a timetable with goals. this time keep it. if the iraqis can not keep their end of the bargin on oil shareing, army/police development, agreeing to power sharing, etc move the troops out immediately.
