BAGHDAD, Sept. 12 (UPI) -- U.S. officials resent the ties to Iran and the latest sonorous stance of the Iraqi premier and are mulling ousting or assassinating him, a Kurdish report says.
A secret report obtained by Dubai newspaper Gulf News from a major Kurdish political party in the central government said Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's position on the U.S. troop presence in Iraq and his apparent collaboration with the Iranian regime prompted U.S. officials to examine ways to remove him from office.

"Maliki has started to undermine the influence of those in the Iraqi military and security commanders who are classified as proteges of the Americans. This has raised concerns in the U.S. military command in Baghdad," the report said.

U.S. officials, the report claims, are concerned Maliki may launch additional operations in Shiite areas of Iraq at the behest of Iranian officials.

The report says U.S. strategists favor current Iraqi Vice President Adel Abdul Mahdi with the Shiite Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council as a possible replacement, but the have concerns over his position with Tehran.

:rofl:

2. I wonder if Milki has enough

support to make that backfire big time on Booo$hCo. Would be kind of funny is he were able to throw Petraeus and the whole bunch out of his country.

4. Ya know it's im-fucking-material whether the "surge worked" or not

I agree that plotting to get rid of the guy we shoved in there is not a positive commentary on the success of the surge. And everybody knows the reason for the decline in violence in Iraq is the bribes we paid to the militias to suspend operations. So we are using money we borrowed from China to pay militias to lay off shooting at us so that the Iraq economy can recover and more oil can be pumped which is now being sold to...CHINA. We are China's cheap hired help.

But what is even more true is that who cares whether the surge worked or not. We would have never needed a surge if we didn't blunder into this idiotic CF in the first place.

5. When the surge was announced in 2007 I thought it was a ploy to hand the CF to the next prez

imo "The Surge is a success" is Karl Rove election 2008 BS.

$300/month to 100k Sunni's buys... ...no loyalty.
