Maybe Iraq Will Just Kick Us Out!
I have wondered more than once how Iraqi people and the government must feel about the lack of support for this war by the general population of the U.S. Of course, I also wonder how they feel about the war itself, about the shattering of their country and other things of that sort.
Finally, today, a clue. I guess we finally went too far in our criticism yesterday when your president said he was “frustrated with Iraqi leaders…” and “I think there’s a certain level of frustration with the leadership in general, inability to work – come together to get, for example, an oil revenue law passed or provincial elections.”
So today, Iraqi Prime Minister al Maliki pushes back, saying that nobody has the right to impose timetables on his elected government and that his country “can find friends elsewhere.” So there.
Isn’t this just incredible? My highest hope for the U.S. to get out of this ridiculous war is now that the Iraqis will kick us out, thoroughly, once and for all! How embarrassing would that be???
I get the feeling that in Planet Earth Junior High School, the U.S. is some big lug jock that everyone admires for his physical prowess, but who has the mentality of a titmouse and the personality of a pig. You know that guy? You know the type, reads “My Pet Goat” while holding the book upside down. I think that is us now.
