How far the mighty have fallen. Poor George is now dangling at the whim of Sadr, the big supporter of Maliki. My big concern is that Bush will react in his typically irrational way causing more problems if that is possible.
Whether Bush has been hung out to dry because of Maliki's anger at the leaked memo (which Buchanan claims was written purposely to be leaked) or because Sadr has told him to stay away is not clear. What is clear is that George looks like a fool.
Of course it is not a civil war. It may turn into a huge Shiite v. Sunni Arab blow out. Thanks George.
The incompetence and arrogance of those advising Bush to let him get into this position is really scary.
Who is calling the shots?
