#1 My guess is that if we leave Iraq, Maliki will make himself dictator-for-life. I suspect we'll need to stay there for at least several decades. However, if Obama gets elected, and we do leave, the media and assorted academics will find a way to exonerate Obama, and blame Bush for the second coming of Saddam.

#3 How come you didn't trash the Americans' credentials when Jimmy applied political pressure? Easier to kick the small kid, right?
