#1 "He gave us the impression that the last thing he wanted was for Iraq to look anything like a success for the United States," a senior Iraqi official told me.

I am shocked, shocked, to hear this.

So he can't do what his antiwar base wants - declare an end to the War on Terror and the start of a period of love and peace in which "citizens of the world" build bridges between civilizations.

There's a truck in the parking lot of my apartment complex with a bumper sticker reading, "World Peace by 2012: Obama for President." Saw one in the Safeway parking lot that said 2021, rather than 2012. Now that's more reasonable.

#2 "He gave us the impression that the last thing he wanted was for Iraq to look anything like a success for the United States," a senior Iraqi official told me. "As far as he is concerned, this is Bush's war and must end in lack of success, if not actual defeat."

I hope this very astute assessment reaches the USCIT Iraqi voting community here in the United States.
