Al Jarfrie
Has the Iraq Prime Minister Al Jarfrie been criticizing the Bush Administration. A few weeks ago I had heard media reports that someone from Iraq had criticized the Bush Administration. At the time I thought it might have been one of the previous people like Kalizad who had criticized the Bush Administration. Yesterday, Condi Rice went to Baghdad and called for a strong leader within Iraq to rise up and unite the country. The media mentioned this morning that Rice came just short of calling for Al Jarfie to resign as Prime Minister of Iraq. So is Rice just angry that Al Jarfrie has somewhat walked away from the Bush Administration playbook. Does anyone think this will lead to another Saddam type leader taking charge of this country? When I first heard Rice say that a strong leader need to stand up and unite the country I thought she might be thinking that a like Saddam needs to step in. I know she did not say they wanted another dictator type running Iraq, but could it be possible that the Bush Administration is hoping a dictator might step up?

1. Bush called for his resignation, last week.
Seems they can call for patience and understanding for themselves but consider it a weakness in others.

4. Not soon, unfortunately.
The call for resignation did show up on major media, Sunday a week ago, and a couple of times early in the week.
