ANOTHER 2 CENTS WORTH
I'm not an avid fan of Joe Klein, but I think he hit the nail on the head with this bit of writing from TIME Mag. In it, he criticizes that person in the White House for his trip to see al Maliki. It was a pretty foolish enterprise. Klein says:
"And then ... nothing. The two men met for breakfast. They had a press conference. Bush said al-Maliki was the "right guy" to run Iraq, an endorsement that may sidle into history along with "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job" and Bush's recent, full-throated pre-election support for Donald Rumsfeld. Bush also said in a petulant tone that U.S. forces would stay in Iraq "until the job is complete." Afterward, Iraqi and U.S. diplomatic spinners asserted that al-Sadr's name had barely come up in the discussions. That Bush hadn't pushed al-Maliki on anything. That al-Maliki had in fact pushed Bush for more control over the Iraqi security forces."
==================
This kind of junk "diplomacy" reflects badly on our country, although I admit it's just a glimmer of shame in a glare of dishonor created by this guy.
However, this is why the self-proclaimed "decider" of the United State got his nomination for WACKO OF THE WEEK, below. So, I'm gonna mark one more vote for Bush for Wacko
