Bush Concerned Neighbors Undermining Iraq

WASHINGTON -- President Bush expressed concern Thursday that some of Iraq's neighbors might be working against the fledging Iraqi government.

"We, of course, are concerned that some in the neighborhood may want to derail the progress of a free Iraq," Bush said. "And that is troubling and something that we'll work on."

The president spoke after meeting in the Oval Office with Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. ambassador to Baghdad, who gave him an update on Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's first trip in office to visit his Persian Gulf neighbors.

The United States pushed hard for al-Maliki's trip to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. While al-Maliki received red-carpet welcomes, the leaders privately made clear they will help the Iraqi government only if he does more to reach out to Iraqi Sunnis. The Gulf nations are dominated by Sunni governments leery of Shiite and Kurdish dominance of Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein.

2. Neighbors Concerned Bush Undermining Iraq

Would be the headline in a sane Universe.

We all live in BizarroWorld.

Plus, the headline is flexible: it could be that Our neighbors are concerned, or Iraq's neighbors. Both would be true.

3. How quaint: an occupied, but free Iraq

4. So the idiot can meddle in Iraq's affairs but Iraq's neighbors can't?

What an arrogant piece of shit we have for a president.

5. It's the myth of an insurgency made up mostly of outsiders

when in reality outsiders make up about only six percent of the insurgency.

7. Read "Bush concerned" and couldn't bother to read beyond that.

9. One of the neighbors undermining Iraq is Saudi Arabia

There was a report that the majority of the money supporting the foreign insurgency in Iraq is coming from Saudi Arabia.

Funny how Bush doesn't ever mention that.
