So does this make George Bush a "cut-n-runner"?

When they stand up, we'll stand down:

Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki demanded the removal of American checkpoints from the streets of Baghdad on Tuesday, in what appeared to be his latest and boldest gambit in an increasingly tense struggle for more independence from his American protectors.

Is this what the Generals told Commander Codpiece he should do?

The language of the declaration, which implied that Mr. Maliki had the power to
command American forces, seemed to overstep his authority and to be aimed at
placating his Shiite constituency.

I say if al-Maliki wants to run the show, fine. Let's bring our troops home.

George W. Bush, a failure at everything he has ever tried.
