 Cabinet Reflects a Divided IraqPosted on Aug 6, 2007
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s “unity government” has lost its last Sunni representatives, as five ministers announced a boycott in protest of sectarian favoritism. Nearly half of the Cabinet has walked this year.

From what I’ve seen of the Shrub and the Shootist, the Cabinet is a hindrance to their grand plans.
Report thisShrub, especially, cannot stand to have anybody present a viewpoint different from his own.
Those who have been foolish enough to add a dash of reality to their proposals soon found they had no job.
The Shootist, well he just nods off when he thinks he might hear something akin to reality.

We need Iraqi style Democracy here.It would be great if half the cabinet walked out on Bush and left him there by himself with Cheney.Maybe the moron in chief would do less damage.

It’s all the fault of those damn Israeli, Zionist, Jewwwwws! They did this, and they must pay by giving their country to the arabs and quietly walking into the Mediterranian Sea and drowning themselves!
There! BIFPAT can fuck off now!

Odd. The Saudi Royal Family is Sunni. You’d think, with the long and close personal relationship between the House of Shrubs and the House of Faud, a little power could be brought to bear.
Report thisI mean, the dude has given them freedom and democracy. Not too mention, his plan is endorsed by God.(Well, ain’t no lightning bolts hit him, so that means God is with the program, right?)
Guess there will always be an Ugly American somewhere.
His, and other politician’s biggest fault ( in foreign relations), is not knowing that not all people think exactly like American’s and have the same goals. Goals could be sorta the same, but the route to them will sure be different.
