Corruption has crippled our gummit, so what. Take a look at Corrupt Harry, Do Nothing Nancy, Box-a-Rox and the clintons if you want to see some Graft.

Interesting. He is supposedly is in “desperate danger” at home but just manages to have the political pull, and financial resources to quit his job and show up in the USA in less then a week.

The Sunday talk shows will be full of the exaggerated crap and of course funded by the Code Pinks.

Gee...
Corruption in an Arab-run government.
Who’d a thunk it.
Remember folks, we are dealing with a society in which NOT offering a bribe to an official (it’s called “Baksheesh”) you want to do business with, even if not accepted, is considered insulting...

Lol! You could say the same when Saddam was in power.
To: tobyhill
Iraq's current government, headed by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, is riddled with so much corruption that the U.S. must stop supporting it.
That
is democracy, pal!
Our government is riddled with just as much corruption, and yet half the people still support the Democrats.

How much did George Soros pay him for this? No joke. I'm sure this will be parroted every hour on radio and television news, as well discussed in that "oh so serious" tone used by NPR.

Corruption in Iraq? They must have Chinese citizens bundling money to politicians. Perhaps they have Mexican trucks pouring over the border, carrying who knows what, and probably carrying tons and tons of contaminated Chinese products.

Pulling American forces out due to corruption isn’t going to help. The Iraqi people are more than fed up with corruption in their current government and hopefully they will take care of the problem during the next elections. Most of the lack of political process isn’t due to sectarian violence as the left would have you think but instead it is due to greedy politicians. They have their own John Murtha’s over there.

The “officials” of the Iraqi government are not the primary focus of our long-term support for Democracy in Iraq - they are transient historical figures.
The focus of our long-term support is the democratic institutions of Iraq and the continued democratic process for altering the course of those institutions - not any particular present or future leaders.
As long as that is what we secure for the Iraqi people, they will have the ability to get rid of corrupt leaders.
It is not up to the U.S. media, or congress to throw the Iraqi people overboard every time we are unhappy with their elected leaders.
If that was legitimate to the basis of our “support” in Iraq, then in similar circumstances - Japan, Germany, South Korea, our assistance to their infant democracies would not have lasted 24 months.
We have given the Iraqi people the means, now we are securing that means. The political clean-up is their job, not ours.

Oh, and he just happens to resign and show up in the USA just in time for this big week of the Petraeus testimony and political struggle over future US policy and funding.
Mere coincidence!! Yeah, right. I’d bet anything that Soros and/or similar ‘Rats are behind this. Who’s funding him? Follow the money!
