#1 I once said that Maliki is an Islamist (given that he does represent the Islamist Dawa Party sold as moderate Muslims by Bush's brain trust) who will replace Saddam as Iraq's El Lider Maximo, if we withdraw*. If he does pull a Salvador Allende (without the happy ending in which Allende killed himself) in Iraq, it will pain me greatly to say - "I told you so".

* The Sunnis, the Kurds and the secular Shias were too retarded to see this, so they agitated against the limits a US presence would put on their corruption. Now they're about to lose the whole enchilada, and the sad thing is - they brought it on their own heads.
