Oops, the photo-op isn't working


Bush visit may have downside for al-Maliki

By PATRICK QUINN
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- President Bush's trip to Baghdad comes at a pivotal time for the new prime minister, as he tries to convince Iraqis the country can stand on its own and end violence - if they unite behind him.

But instead of bolstering that effort, Bush's trip could push away the very Sunni Arabs Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is trying to court.

1. More Fuckface bullshit
Iraqis hate America, hate Fuckface, so, yeah, on a Tuesday, he flies to Baghdad.

How many people got killed in Iraq today, I wonder?

How many American military got killed in Iraq today, I wonder?

Such PR bullshit.

2. Didn't think about the Iraqis, did they?
Only concerned about Bush's poll numbers and swaying the opinion of Americans. Probably never occurred to the idiots that the Iraqis might not like seeing their new PM all chummy with The Decider.
