Isn't this preciouss
It seems that a couple of Republican good old Senators have decided to get all huffy about the lack of political progress in Iraq. Probably the White House decided for them , but they said it.
The stern warnings, coming from Sens. Lindsey Graham and Saxby Chambliss Monday, are an indication that while GOP patience on the war has greatly increased this fall because of security gains made by the military, it isn't bottomless.No more bribe money for Maliki if he doesn't make Our Dear Leader look good. Might even have to replace him [Diem] with someone else [Big Minh]. But we will still leave the troops there to get shot at , that's all they are good for in a Republican world.
"I do expect them to deliver," Graham, R-S.C., said in a phone interview upon returning from a Thanksgiving trip to Iraq. "What would happen for me if there's no progress on reconciliation after the first of the year, I would be looking at ways to invest our money into groups that can deliver."
Chambliss, R-Ga., who traveled with Graham as part of a larger congressional delegation, said lawmakers might even call for al-Maliki's ouster if Baghdad didn't reach agreement on at least some of the major issues seen as key to tamping down sectarian violence.
"If we don't see positive results by the end of the year I think you'll probably see a strong message coming out of Congress calling for a change in administration," he said in a conference call with reporters.
