11. The problem in Iraq is that alot of the leaders are in Bush's pocket.
For all we know he is giving them kickbacks from Halliburton or something.

Think about this. Nouri Al-Maliki was here in the US when the Senate voted on Biden's plan. He went back to Iraq on 9/28.
Biden brought his plan to the Senate floor on Friday 9/21. Al-Maliki waits until he gets back to Iraq to make a statement that
Biden's plan is not going to work. and then the next day other Arab states speak out against it. You can't tell me that there is no connection there. If Maliki was against it, then why didn't he make a public announcement against it on the day Biden brought it to the Senate floor?

The good news is that there are other leaders that are for it. One is a Sunni named Al-Hashemi. He used to be one of Bush's guys, but then broke away because he felt that Bush was standing in the way of a peaceful solution.

Yes - I have been studying this stuff. Who would ever think that I would find this fascinating - but I do.
