The sad thing is that Maliki made Bush look like a fool when Obama came back to the US and said that Maliki agreed with him that 16 months withdraw time was just fine. Bush had always said we would return on success. Maybe Maliki was just hedging his bets, but for sure, one President had given everything he had and we as a Country had and Maliki just hit him upside the head.

I understand Maliki wants to retain power, but putting all his eggs in the Obama basket and kicking Bush in the shins seems very unwise to me. Obama has had 95 positions on everything. The war was “imoral” from the beginning in his opinion, so do you think Obama cares what happens in Iraq? I wouldn’t bet my life on it.
