solon – you need to go to Pajamas Media and read Mohammad Fadhil’s analysis. He exquisitely dissects what Maliki has done (for the Shiite side only) and why it’s a big huge mistake. Just because Maliki has proposed it, doesn’t mean a majority is for it.

I’m also seeing Instapundit make repeated suggestions that if they want us to withdraw, we should cheerfully wish them adieu and best of luck and do so. I agree.

Maliki has obviously never read the Chinese fortune cookie about “be careful what you wish for …”
