Cheney Visits Iraq
By TOM RAUM 05.09.07, 2:25 AM ET
Vice President Dick Cheney sought to encourage reconciliation among rival Iraqi factions on Wednesday in an unannounced visit to Baghdad, emphasizing that the current U.S. military buildup alone is not end the conflict.
Cheney made Iraq the first stop of a weeklong trip to the Middle East aimed at redoubling efforts to end divisive infighting among Iraq's ethnic factions.
He got a firsthand briefing on conditions from Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, and the new U.S. ambassador here, Ryan Crocker.

Darn, if nobody knew about it, then none of the Democrats were told.
Kucinich would have taken measures to save his impeachment efforts /s

I was kind of hoping that he would tell Maliki to trim their vacation by about six weeks.

AFP:[ The stopover here [Baghdad] is part of a broader visit to the Middle East, with planned stops in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan to get support from Sunni governments for Iraq's Sunni minority in a bid to convince them to join Iraq's fledgling political process. ]

Something is pathetic. But it sure as hell ain’t Cheney.
To: Penner
He's going to beg them to get along. Pathetic. This is how many nations behave. Whenever they feel they are not getting enough attention from the U.S., they throw a tantrum like a two-year-old. Then we send someone over to make them feel better.
It generally works, and I expect that V.P. Cheney will get his way.

He's going to beg them to get along. How do you know this? Why do you assume he's not there to read the riot act?
