Who Lost Iraq?

Iraq's disintegration may be imminent, as the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki appears incapable of stopping the advance of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS).

Be careful what you ask for

Be careful what you ask for: you might get it. This kernel of homespun wisdom needs to be driven full-force into the forehead of Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, the Prime Minister who worked so exuberantly to have U.S. Forces leave his country.
