It isn't a full-on endorsement and it would be bad form to do so, but Nuri al-Maliki hinted at who he wants to see as the United States' 44th President. When it comes to our Presidential election, what matters to the people of Iraq is how we treat them and how quickly we get out of there. So what do you think he had to say?
From Reuters:
Hmmm, 16 months or a hundred years? You know the answer to that, and it means we know who the leader of Iraq wants to see as our next President. Thanks Nuri!
BERLIN (Reuters) - Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki told a German magazine he supported prospective U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's proposal that U.S. troops should leave Iraq within 16 months.[...]Asked if he supported Obama's ideas more than those of John McCain, Republican presidential hopeful, Maliki said he did not want to recommend who people should vote for.
"Whoever is thinking about the shorter term is closer to reality. Artificially extending the stay of U.S. troops would cause problems."
Oh and by the way, Nancy has been bloviating and making ridiculously obvious statements in the Q & A. She even referred to Lewis and Clark when asked about Net Neutrality. Thankfully, Al Gore "surprised" us and saved her from that lackluster performance.
