Iraqi Prime Minister Denounces Israel�s Actions

Now what do we do? It looks like the string must have broken on bush's puppet.
"The resentment of the Iraqi government toward Israel calls into question one of the rationales among some conservatives for the American invasion of Iraq — that an American-backed democratic state here would inevitably become an ally of Israel and, by doing so, catalyze a change of attitude across the rest of the Arab world."
Iraqi Prime Minister Denounces Israels Actions - New York Times: "His stance is noteworthy because it is a significant split with American policy toward Israel. It has been the Americans hope that Iraq would become President Bushs staunchest ally among Arab nations. The Americans arranged a series of elections that ended up putting Shiite parties in power, and the White House helped boost Mr. Maliki by pushing last spring for the ouster of the prime minister at the time, Ibrahim al-Jaafari. Mr. Maliki relies on the presence of 134,000 American troops in Iraq to stave off the insurgency led by Sunni Arabs, who ruled over the majority Shiite Arabs for decades."
