 Iraqi PM Shuts Down Wall ConstructionPosted on Apr 22, 2007Last week U.S. forces began building a controversial wall around a Sunni neighborhood in Baghdad, ostensibly to protect its residents from sectarian violence. On Sunday, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said he opposed the construction and had ordered it stopped.

Bush will have the final say on this project, and we all know that Bush believes in “Divide to Conquer.”
Report thisBush also has a deep seated commitment to borrow and spend!!!!!

This episode should reveal the true chasm that exists between the Iraqi “government” and the American military. Will General Petraeus accede to al Maliki’s demands, thus revealing his own impotency; or will he ignore the Prime Minister, thus advertising the servitude of the Iraqi lawmakers to the occupiers? Stay tuned!

So, I am reading this on Monday morning. Does anyone have information showing that the US and its “allies” have actually stopped this egregious wall-building? I would guess that so long as the US military wants to have the thing built, it WILL be built…probably by Halliburton/KBR!

QuyTran really hates them poodles but he’s my favorite poster anyway.

When you’re just a figurehead in a puppet government, what does it matter what you oppose?

What?!
A puppet bites the nose of the ventriloquist?
This is the very first sign I’ve seen that there might be a chance that Iraq can become something other than a debacle.
Next step: al-Maliki, or someone else, throws the US out of the country. Totally, completely. No more ‘Wall’, no more ‘Green Zone’, no more ‘Advisors’, no more ‘Foreign’(US) graft and corruption.
They’re pretty good at graft and corruption without our help. They’re pretty good at fighting without out help. They’ve been around for a lot longer than we have.
We need to concentrate our efforts trying to make the US a free, democratic form of government again.

Is this the “fate of a poodle”, QuyTran? I think not. Perhaps the reason for his temerity lies here though - ‘Rice urges Iran to take part in Iraq meeting’ http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L22309137.htm
Still, Condy did say last year that she was going to “beat his brains out” but look how times have changed!

Mr. Maliki, do you have any power to stop this damned construction ? When your master decides you have to obey, and this is a fate of a poodle. Stop showing off that you and your government still have a bit of sovereignty. When the invasion forces are still present on your soil, you’re only their servants.
