I've got to hand it to Obama, although I am sure that was not his intention. You want your ass saved, you gotta come crawling cash in hand. No more shedding blood and money only to be booed after Friday prayers led by some fat akhoond. Stay out of mosques, hide the flag, watch your comrades get killed because some sheik might get offended. F%$#* it. you do it yourself. Now, Maliki who 2 years a go kicked the Americans out is coming back this week hat in hand because he is scared shitless willing to pay for every bullet. If I were Obama I would charge him the entire cost of Iraq war. Blackwater? No problem.
"Al-Maliki is expected to ask Obama for new assistance to bolster its military and fight al-Qaida. Faily said that could include everything from speeding up the delivery of U.S. aircraft, missiles, interceptors and other weapons, to improving national intelligence systems. And when asked, he did not rule out the possibility of asking the U.S. to send military special forces or additional CIA advisers to Iraq to help train and assist counterterror troops."
