Maliki is saying no more U.S. troops, per CNN correspondent

[lyonn]

On Anderson Cooper, CNN, the bushy, grey haired correspondent in Iraq was telling Anderson that Maliki did not want more troops?! Indication was Maliki would rather Al Sadar take care of the Sunni problem?! That the Americans should move their troops to the periphery. These are not exact words for sure, but, that is what I was hearing.

This is the complete opposite of bush's statement this evening.

Anyone else hear this? Are we being bs again?

[Sydnie]

Words came out of blivet"s** mouth tonight

so, of course, we are being lied to.

I didn't hear it, but I hope someone else did and they can add to your post.

1. WTF????????

Oh, God! I can't take much more! What the hell was all that bullshit Bush was spewing in his damn speech?

8. Connie, maybe you should volunteer time working with mild schizoids.

You'd learn to understand your president much better then.

13. With hair like that, he damn well better.

Seriously, big fan of Burns here. That dude knows his shite!

4. I've got the opposite

There's an article posted that says Maliki is going to go after Sadr, which is also what they're saying on MSNBC. So I don't know how he could be relying on Sadr to go after the Sunni's, which wouldn't be good anyway.

What a fucking nightmare.

5. Malaki wanted to resign after the lynching....

I'd think he'd be in the wind by now.

6. It sounds like John Burns (spelling?) from the NYTimes.

He was on PBS Newshour tonight reporting that.

[Bozita]

9. I trust the reporting of John Burns.

He says what he sees.

[Fleshdancer]

11. take a good long look at him before he "jumps" off a building

you know, this would actually be funny if it wasn't so damn real...if that makes any sense.

12. Too late. Surge is already underway.

" President Bush's speech may be scheduled for tonight, but the troop surge in Iraq is already under way."
