Comments on: Hanson: What The US Should And Shouldn’t Do About Maliki http://patdollard.com/2007/08/hanson-what-the-us-should-and-shouldnt-do-about-maliki/ The latest in policital news and the war in Iraq Thu, 8 Jan 2009 09:03:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Dan (The Infidel) http://patdollard.com/2007/08/hanson-what-the-us-should-and-shouldnt-do-about-maliki/#comment-39131 Dan (The Infidel) Tue, 28 Aug 2007 03:36:36 +0000 http://patdollard.com/2007/08/hanson-what-the-us-should-and-shouldnt-do-about-maliki/#comment-39131 Let the tribes decide for themselves who should or shouldn't lead Iraq. It's their country and their future... The tribes and the shieks are the real power in Iraq anyways. It is they that are getting things done...and it is they who are helping to make the surge work. Maliki might be an empty suit. But it is the Iraqis themselves that must decide his future. Things will play out one way or the other. Give it enough time and the Iraqi government will either fall of its own weight or stand on it's two feet and represent all of Iraq and not just one group. The surge will give the Iraqis enough time to make their own choices. And bear in mind, that Maliki is the person that the Iraqis voted for. So let the Iraqis decide things for themselves.

The quest for power is the sign of an abandoned mind. I concur, look at that evil bitch pretending to understand what is happening right before her piggish eyes.

I assume there will be another election soon, and this will disrupt the current coalition in Parliament, which will force whatever new coalition forms to pick a new prime minister. There is no way we are going to abandon the surge after the mid-September report proves we should follow-through on its positive impact. That means we will still be supporting Iraq long enough to allow for a new Nov/Dec election that will hopefully fix the political situation. I agree that Maliki should be able to serve out his term.

Never heard of him before I came here. Pat sure gets some great articles. And now I'm a huge VDH fan...I'm telling you..He, Michael Yon and Matt Sanchez ought to start their own newswire. Great links, good reporting...And addicting as hell. VDH is one of those people that I can’t get enough of. Never heard of him before I came here. Pat sure gets some great articles.

As far as "voting for Maliki", remember that in this or any parliamentary system, the majority/plurality party gets to select its leader who automatically becomes the PM. Remember Jafari et al.?? Anyhooo ... the ruling coalition could have a leadership review and replace him at any time. I nominate Alusi. :smile: Agree about VDH.
