At the same time those very Democrats are calling for our withdrawal. What are the Iraqis supposed to do? Of course they will look for other patrons and partners. Maliki and the Shias naturally will look to Iran. This is the reaction to Democrat bitching.This is the natural consequence of the President's foolish belief that a consensual and pacific government could be established among the inhabitants of the former Ottoman vilayets of Mosul, Mesopotamia, and Basra, as a unitary state under the name "Iraq".
The Democrats are merely opportunistic scavengers.

Not to defend Bush..but we didn’t invade specifically to install a Democracy. We invaded to remove a threat.

‘Course Syria is in a defacto alliance with Iran, so Maliki’s move to cozy up with the Syrians is bound to make a few here & in Israel nervous.
