The Iraqis are feeling their oats
And all it took was a handful of mercenaries.Today Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki made his and his country's feelings about said mercs very clear.
"The Iraqi government is responsible for its citizens and it cannot be accepted for a security company to carry out a killing,"..."There are serious challenges to the sovereignty of Iraq." In Arabic, he used the word "tajawiz" which can be translated either as "affronts" or "challenges."Last Sunday's Blackwater Massacre was the final straw, now the Iraqi government is demanding it be treated asif it really is what Our Dear Embattled Leader says it is, a sovereign country. There were also separate calls for the release of an Iranian seized by US troops in Kurdistan.
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, a Kurd, demanded the Iranian's release on Saturday, saying he was a member of an official delegation that was in the autonomous Kurdish city of Sulaimaniyah with the full knowledge of the Iraqi government and local authorities.Soon Dear Leader will make the reality of the situation clear to Miliki and Talabani. Asituation made very clear by Juan Cole.
Plus, Mam Jalal, if you are a president and have to plead with a foreign general to release your own guest from prison, you don't have any sovereignty left and haven't had for some time. You've been colonized.
