Because Bush is playing a similar game with Iran. Iran is DEDICATED to an outcome that the president professes not to want. It involves violence and the defeat of the west. And yet his passivity encourages this to flourish. How is this different from Maliki and the death squads? Bush deserves this ineffective PM. Because Bush is playing a similar game with Iran.

If we wanted to eliminate him and Malaki objected we could just tell him that we would simply pull our security detail back and start all over when he is gone. I was under the impression that the only thing keeping Malakis skin attached to Malakis body was the presence of US Troops.

You have nailed it again. The Maliki government has been an abject failure. In the final analysis, whether or not representative democracy was ever going to work in Iraq was going to be up to the Iraqis themselves. We could only do so much. That said, I don't think we ever commited enough troops to give it a reasonable chance. On the other hand, the efforts of the Iraqi government have been wanting as well. The promotion of representative democracy in Iraq was a noble endeavor, however, it was based on the assumption that the Iraqi people are generally good and decent people who simply want to live their lives in a free and unified Iraq. So far, this does not seem to be the case. I wish I could be more optimistic but the only way the democracy project in Iraq can be salvaged at this point would be to massively increase the number of American troops in Iraq. Since this is not going to happen, it seems the best course of action will be to redeploy to Kurdish areas and decide which militias best represent American interests and support them. The other major powers in the region and the world will support whatever groups represent their interests. In any event, it seems that our top priorities, at this time, should be containing Iran and al qaeda while keeping a close eye on Russia and China. Russia is by far and away the greatest threat to American national security. All of the focus on Islamic terrorists may have caused us to lose sight of that. This needs to change. Rick
