How can the Republican administration train Iraqis to govern their nation when those same GOP administrators can't govern America? This is the tragedy of Iraq and America in 2006.
If you were part of the Iraqi government would you take advice from Donald Rumsfeld? Or from FEMA? Would you be willing to listen to anyone in this administration? The American people have finally recognized that neocons are unfit to govern Anerica. Why should the Iraqis think the same people can guide Iraq?
Repeatedly our national government has shown how ignorant and uninformed they are about conditions on the ground in both the U.S. and Iraq. The results have been horrendous in Iraq but they also haven't been much fun here in America. You have only to ask the people of New Orleans.
Who would you listen to if you were Al-Maliki trying to rebuild Iraq? "Hello Iran! Yes I'll take that call."
