Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had a surprise for President Bush when they sat down with their aides in the Four Seasons Hotel in Amman, Jordan. Firing up a PowerPoint presentation, Maliki and his national security adviser proposed that U.S. troops withdraw to the outskirts of Baghdad and let Iraqis take over security in the strife-torn capital. Maliki said he did not want any more U.S. troops at all, just more authority.

The president listened intently to the unexpected proposal at their Nov. 30 meeting, according to accounts from several administration officials. Bush seemed impressed that Maliki had taken the initiative, but it did not take him long to reject the idea.    Entire Article

   As is usual, the 'decider/divider' ignored the Iraqi Prime Minister as he does with everyone else! What happened to 'if they ask us to leave then we will'?

   Must be hard to overcome your greed for oil and all of the cash that it brings in. Bush doesn't want someone else to look smarter than he is but he fails to understand that even a snail on drugs can beat him at the I.Q. table.

Troop Escalation is under way

   As U.S. troops were getting killed in Iraq on Saturday, 3,200 more arrived to take their place according to the BBC.

    Maybe we can all talk Bush into going to Iraq himself and helping our troops out. Whatever happened to 'lead by example'?

    Here's one from The Huffington Post which contains a few bits of Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki's diary which was found in a dumpster.

Nouri al-Maliki's Secret Diary

December 1, 2006
Reluctantly agreed to do the Amman press conference, but backed out of dinner with W. So it was all smiles and handshakes and camera flashes going off and "I'm the right guy for the job." So why did that jackal's national security house boy Hadley ridicule me in his leaked memo to the Zionist rag NY Times.

Can't trust W. Never did like to break bread with him anyway. He eats with his mouth open. A Texas cowboy. Total kafir.                     Huffington Post article

      This goes to show that we have a president with no class whatsoever.

   For those of you,myself included, who do not know what a 'kafir' is:

Kafir (Arabic: كافر kāfir; plural كفّار kuffār) is an Arabic word meaning an unbeliever, a person who hides, denies, or covers the truth. In cultural terms, it is a derogatory term[1] used to describe an unbeliever, non-Muslims, a Muslim of a differing sect, or an apostate from Islam. It is usually translated into English as "infidel" or "unbeliever".    Wikipedia
