#1 I question the timing.

It is intresting that Maliki has been lately rather succesful in bringing different segments together. Maybe that's the problem--an end of quagmire in sight. For Dhimmicrats, that is rather a hot potato.

#2 Overt US comments on Iraqi leadership - stupid. US-set "benchmarks" for Iraqi govt. to meet - stupid. Whole concept of "forcing" Iraqis to magically settle the whole mess in a timeframe never seen in all of human history for such things - incredibly stupid. Whole concept that legislative acts in B'dad will have one iota of impact on enemies of order in Iraq, who commit their mayhem for myriad bad reasons - beyond incredibly stupid.

#3 Herself should have continued to allow Obama to make the blunderbuss foreign policy statements.

#6 Whole concept of "forcing" Iraqis to magically settle the whole mess in a timeframe never seen in all of human history for such things - incredibly stupid.

And deeply uninformed about Arab and Kurd cultures.

#8 So, if they tell the Shrillary to take a hike, they really aren't puppets of the United States/Bushitler/Rove?

#9 The arrogance and hypocrisy of this statement is staggering. Breath-taking. So now American Presidents are meant to remove foreign leaders by fiat but only provided the suggestion is a bone thrown to the mouth-breathers of the Democratic party funding base. Arguably stupider than Obama's land invasion of Pakistan and making a great deal less sense.

#10 The [sheer] arrogance and hypocrisy of this statement is staggering.

I expect from Dhimmicrats nothing less. Which is actually a sad state of affairs, thinking of it. I am probably growing too cynical.

#11 Well, the Dems. can't criticize the surge anymore so they have to make noise about political front in Iraq.

If they get what they want (Maliki stepping down), does that bring them on board for a while or shut them up for a few seconds?

#12 The Dummycritter Party has gone out of its way to prove they have no clue how to conduct foreign policy. Between Hitlery's stupid statement that "the US should replace Iraqi Prime Minister" (we called for democratic elections, now we want to renege?), to Artless Airhea Obama calling for a ground invasion of Pakistan (why telegraph our moves in advance?) to ending the "blockade" of Cuba, the donkey party has proven to the American people what most only suspected - they're clueless. They're not much better on domestic policy - raising taxes, reinstating the draft, amnesty to illegal aliens, etc. The whole group should be airlifted to Darfur, dropped from 25,000 feet without parachutes, with spork and cooking instructions attached. That way they can at least contribute to the "health and well-being" of the region.
