It seems that Bush/Petraeus proposal to "pause" the drawdown of U.S. troops in Iraq for the immediate future is meeting with more than just Democratic (and increasing Rebunglecan) opposition. From some other know-nothing surrender monkeys? Why, no! From none other than Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Al-Maliki told Dumbya yesterday in a 20-minute phone conversation that he disagrees with the "pause" notion and want U.S. troops to be pulled out of Iraq "as the situation permits." Al-Maliki is willing to have Iraqi forces take more of the security role now, as opposed to the endless occupation envisioned by Dumbya and McSame. Would anyone like to offer odds on Dumbya taking al-Maliki's views into positive consideration?
