Good Morning,
Is anybody else bone tired of the Iraqi PM demanding anything from the country that freed his country at the expense of its blood and economy? He may request, ask nicely, or grovel. Or all of the above. I demand that he stop demanding anything from me and mine.
“There can be no treaty or agreement except on the basis of Iraq’s full sovereignty,” al-Maliki told a gathering of tribal sheiks. He said such an agreement must be based on the principle that “no foreign soldier remains in Iraq after a specific deadline, not an open time frame.”
Could somebody try to get it into this guy’s extremely thick skull that a timetable for our soldiers pulling out is also a timetable for the terrorists to start moving in? I’m hoping against hope that al-Maliki is pontificating for the benefit of his own people. I hope it’s playing well with his “tribal sheiks”, because his attitude stinks to high heaven from where I’m sitting.
