Fist jabbing America in the Barack
Item!Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki told a German magazine he supported prospective U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's proposal that U.S. troops should leave Iraq within 16 months.
It will be interesting to see if the Bush Administration still has the leverage to make Maliki "walk back" this statement in coming days.

Update: Marc Ambinder reports that "a prominent Republican strategist who occasionally provides advice to the McCain campaign said, simply, 'We're fucked.'"

No, they're giving McSame the space to walk back from his 100 years in Iraq statement.

Oh! I thought that Maliki was actually Following the Little Dick'Tater's orders by Backing Barack -->d'oh<--(Jeez Louie, Noble Mollusk, you take puns and wrap them in taffy! Sticky Sticky!)(Now this one will hang around in my mind like a Manilow song aaalll week, t'ank you berry mush!:)
Anyway, where was I...oh yeah, Taffy!
They are fixin'ta CanCan86 that bad boy, for having the gall to actually inquire about the disposition of a little real estate...so what better place to stick him? Weeelll, how about onto the Back of Barack, our own Muslim Presidential Candidate?
Remember?

Well, if this is what the Iraqis want, and we're supposedly there to foster democracy and the people's wishes and all that, then isn't withdrawal the least we can do?
Or will the Bush cabal retcon our reason for being there yet again?
Maybe we should just let Iraqis vote in our presidential election. Hey, why stop there, let the whole world vote in our elections. Who needs a soveriegn nation anyway, eh?
Evidently not the Iraqis...
