| Here's a doozy. Bush-supported Iraqi Prime Minister (such as the position is) Al-Maliki is bristling at criticism that he's inneffective and irrelevant - particularly the recent calls (from people like Hillary Clinton, Carl Levin and a bunch of Republicans) that he step down. "There are American officials who consider Iraq as if it were one of their villages" Okay, so far so good... "for example Hillary Clinton and Carl Levin," Hm. Leaving out someone a little more obvious, aren't we? But here's the payoff quote. Why should the criticism of Maliki stop? Because... "This is severe interference in our domestic affairs." Now just think about that one for a few minutes. |
