Maliki: Free and fairly elected Iraq PM? Or American puppet?

1. It will be interesting how long he lasts.

Anyday now he should be saying that he is resigning as PM to spend more quality time with his family. Make way for a new puppet.

2. Too early to say

There have been times in the past when puppets revolted against their puppet masters. If al-Maliki "apologizes" for his pro-Hezbollah comment, that's a sure indication that he's a puppet.

3. I don't think he's a puppet. He went to Great Britain and came to

the US to demand more troops to avoid civil war (as if it's not happening
already).
I think it was a tit for tat; either send more troops, or he'd declare
civil war has broken out, which would assuredly not sit well with
whatever nimrods encompass dimson's base at this point. The proclamation
of civil war would also ensure that Il Dunce has failed; can't let that
happen!
