Welcome home.

that al-Maliki's endorsement of Obama's plan has raised a hissy fit with interesting timelines and players.

German Paper, Al-Maliki At Odds Over Obama Quote

(CBC News) - Ali al-Dabbagh, the chief spokesman for al-Maliki, said in a statement that the prime minister's comments were "not conveyed accurately" by Der Spiegel.

Al-Dabbagh said al-Maliki did not endorse a specific timetable but instead discussed "an Iraqi vision" of U.S. troop withdrawals based on negotiations with Washington and "in the light of the continuing positive developments on the ground."

He added that Maliki's comments has been "misunderstood and mistranslated," without detailing which parts were affected.

The Iraqi spokesman's statement was released not by the Iraqi government but by the U.S. military's Central Command press office in Baghdad.

"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."

Oui, Thanks for the link. CBC news, under Harper's "New" government, has become a shill for Bush. They mislead.

please see my diary: Hissy fit - Der Speogel stands by its reporting of the al-Maliki interview; has released full transcript.

CENTCOM pulled a coup, shutdown the elected al-Maliki's office? Oh for the promo on spreading democracy.

They're not succeeding. I doubt Iraqis will be amused thinking they were a sovereign state.

Gordon Brown backs Obama's 16 month timetable and as well Obama's plans for Afghanistan.

Will CENTCOM also roll back on Gordon Brown?

Well, "You can't vote for war and disown the results"
