BAGHDAD, Oct. 17 — The Iraqi government removed the country’s two most senior police commanders from their posts on Tuesday, in the first broad move against the top leadership of Iraq’s unruly special police forces.
The two generals had led Iraq’s special police commandos and its public order brigade, both widely criticized as being heavily infiltrated by Shiite militias. Their removal comes at a crucial time for Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, who has come under intense American pressure to purge Iraq’s security forces of the militias and death squads that operate within their ranks.
Iraqi politicians, both Shiite and Sunni, have grown increasingly anxious in recent weeks that eroding public and Congressional support for the war in the United States might prompt a major shift in American policy, particularly if the November midterm elections bring gains for the Democrats.
Senior American officials, including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on a visit to Baghdad earlier this month, have issued stark warnings to the Maliki government of growing American impatience, especially at the government’s failure to stop the scourge of death squads operating with the knowledge or support of the Interior Ministry, which oversees the police.
For Mr. Maliki, these concerns have taken on a keen personal edge, exposed Monday when the White House revealed that Mr. Maliki asked President Bush in a telephone call whether there was any truth to rumors that the Americans had plans to replace him “if certain things don’t happen within two months,” in the words of Mr. Bush’s press secretary, Tony Snow.
Mr. Snow said that Mr. Bush reassured Mr. Maliki of American support. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/18/world/middleeast/18iraq.html?ref=world This insane bastid Bush finally sees the Iraqi politicians quaking in their boots because they finally think some Americans might actually be holding them accountable for the deaths in Iraq and what does that numbskull moron do? Yeah, he f*cking lets them off the hook.
Damn, damn, damn, damn. Kerry was right in '04, but he was also damn f*cking, arrow-straight, un-friggin-believably right this April when he said that we have to pressure the Iraqis. It f*cking works. And 'sh*t for brains' Bush can't even see it cuz he has his head so firmly jammed up his own ass, all he can see is his own kidneys.
For the love of Gawd, ten friggin Americans died yesterday for your no-good, piece of shit war. And you do this? I hope you burn in hell, you motherf*cking little douchebag.
Damn Kerry was right. That and a cup of tears is all we have now. Damn, damn, damn, damn. When Democrats get elected I hope they come down like a f*cking ton of bricks on this tin-horned, little doofus and his crappy little slaughter house in Iraq. What a gawddamned c**ks*cking piece of slimey horse dung. Rot in hell you baby killing bastard.
