So Nahncee, you’ve shifted your position from: “the MSM is reporting it therefore it must be a lie. How silly of you to believe it.”

To:
“OK, it’s true, but it’s a really bad idea and if the Iraqis want us to leave, screw them.”

Nicely done. Even a third grader could catch you on that weaselly evasion. I guess I’ll have to wait longer for your apology for calling me “silly”, yes? How very principled of you.
I’ve read Fadhil’s piece in PJM. You’ll note that he concludes with the following:

“Frankly, I’m disappointed by Maliki’s unjustified maneuver. Gambling with the future of nation and its people is an insult that will cast a shadow on his record as a leader of Iraq.”

A to Iraqi public opinion: The most recent data I can find is from March of 2007, a BBC poll in which 78% of the population opposes the “the presence of Coalition forces in Iraq”:

Can you find anything more recent? What if Maliki’s decision is popular with the Iraqi people? Is he not a politician?

PS I think you’re trying to be a spinmeister, but you’re not very good at it.
