The US is officially out of Iraq and the 1st thing that happens is an arrest warrant out for their VP, a Sunni?
Iraq’s Sunni vice president denied charges [from Prime Minister Maliki] he ran a hit squad that killed government officials during the nation’s wave of sectarian bloodletting, accusing the Shiite-led government Tuesday of waging a campaign of persecution.
Tariq al-Hashemi told a news conference that he has not committed any “sin” against Iraq. He described the charges against him as “fabricated” and said the Shiite prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, was behind a plot to embarrass him.
The President of Iraq, a Kurd, Jalal Talabani, is supporting the VP.

Yikes. Obummer continues to leave a Mr. Magoo trail of disasters.
The “ceremony” that was held in a hangar at Andrews AFB was the most contrived event I have ever heard of. Pres Bush landing on the carrier was definitely a photo op to make the Carrier crew feel good but having a General present a flag in a mostly empty hangar was simply a joke. The President votes “present” and in all his speeches, appearances, and actions he continues to vote or act “present.”
The leadership coming out of the State Department by Sec. Cilnton shows us what real leadership is. I pray that the GOP can pull this off.
