The lame duck just broke another wing
And the mean old man who did it was Bushie's best bud in Baghdad, Maliki of Iraq. Despite the presence of 150,000 US troops and a large number of murderous private thugs, the otherwise weak Iraqi government has told Our Dear Leader to put his demands where the sun don't shine.
U.S. and Iraqi negotiators have abandoned efforts to conclude a comprehensive agreement governing the long-term status of U.S troops in Iraq before the end of the Bush presidency, according to senior U.S. officials, effectively leaving talks over an extended U.S. military presence there to the next administration.The Democrats in Congress might want to pay some attention to how it was done, our dear presiduck has a few more turds he wants to float in the punchbowl.
The failure of months of negotiations over the more detailed accord -- blamed on both the Iraqi refusal to accept U.S. terms and the complexity of the task -- deals a blow to the Bush administration's plans to leave in place a formal military architecture in Iraq that could last for years.
