Reply #30: two things will happen which might lead to another...

[Javaman]

1)media spin. blackwater was trying to "protect" something or other and people got in the way...colateral damage...sad part of war, etc.

2)condi is going over there to tell Maliki to shut the fuck up or otherwise will find himself either suicided, assassinated, beheaded on the insurgent video of the month, or just plain old disappeared.

and...

If maliki doesn't share his blocks, number two will happen in within a month and there will be yet a new puppet ready willing and able to dance with the devil all so the new puppet can get an iphone with a personal ring tone.

people are bailing left and right from this sham of a US propped up iraqi gov't. maliki isn't worth much right now.

It's nice that maliki is trying to be a leader but when you are the leader of nothing and the only people that are listening are the people signing your check, it's not wise to piss them off.
