At some level, you really gotta feel sorry for this guy:
(AP) Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki appealed to Congress Wednesday to press the war in Iraq with money and troops, portraying his country as crucial to the U.S. as a front line in the war on terror and comparing violence there to the Sept. 11 attacks.

Addressing a joint meeting of Congress, al-Maliki said, "Do not imagine that this problem is solely an Iraqi problem because the terrorist front represents a threat to all free countries and free people of the world."
Al Maliki is a complete creation of the United States and thus, is about to be dropped like a hot rock. More troops? More money? I'm sure he'd like that. But he's about to find out what the American backed Vietnamese government finally found out. It's a little like going into a business deal with Tony Soprano and expecting him to have sympathy for the bad times. As the U.S. ultimately leaves Iraq, and it will ultimately leave Iraq a mess, guys like al Maliki will be lucky to get a plane ticket out of town.
