Maliki bitches about US missile strike against Syria
[Iraq News] The US missile attack on a military base of Syrian regime suggests that Washington "uses force" to deal with the leaders in the Middle East, said Iraqi VP Nouri al-Maliki.
Maliki has turned into a greater Iranian toe sucker than al-Sadr.
On his Facebook account, former Iraqi premier published a media statement on Saturday, decrying US’ missile attack against the Shayrat airfield.

Earlier Muwafaq al- Rubai’i, a politician from Maliki’s Shi’ite State of Law Coalition, described the US assault as "a violation of Syria’s illusory sovereignty."

Also Iraqi Foreign Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari questioned the possibility of using chemical weapons by Bashir al-Assad’s regime.

#2 It did take out 1/2 of Syria's Sukhoi fighter planes of that model and hardly hurt folks on the ground. I think that is a fairly benign making of a strong point of order.
