Maliki said Iraq was key to defeating terrorism worldwide. Recalling a failed uprising against President Saddam Hussein in 1991, he urged the United States not to abandon his country.

"Let us not allow what happened in 1991 to repeat itself, because if it does history will not be merciful to any one of us," Maliki said. After the Gulf War then-President George H.W. Bush was viewed as supportive of insurgents against Saddam but did not give them military assistance and they were crushed.

3. Can there be any doubt that Maliki is a puppet of the US? For his change

from blaming Israel to blasting Hezbollah, did US taxpayers put $10 million in his private Swiss bank account?

Maybe Georgie told Maliki to say that at his father's expense.
