Bush flip-flopped on his support for the Iraqi Prime Minister. Yesterday, Bush was over Maliki, But today, Bush likes him again. Tomorrow, who knows? But, Maliki doesn't seem to think that Bush and the U.S. matter all that much:
"No one has the right to place timetables on the Iraq government. It was elected by its people," he said at the end of a three-day visit to Damascus, according to the Associated Press. "Those who make such statements are bothered by our visit to Syria. We will pay no attention. We care for our people and our constitution and can find friends elsewhere." Maliki said.Maliki has no problem dissing Bush. He knows that part of Bush's latest political strategy is to blame the Iraqis for all the problems in the country. And, Maliki and the Iraqis are not taking it.
