Maliki, U.S. forces attack Sadr City. The Americans just want the rain of rockets and howitzer shells falling upon the Green Zone to stop. Maliki wants Sadr dead.
Especially ingenous is Maliki's call that "all militias must disarm." Given that the Iraqi Army is increasingly comprised of Maliki's own Iranian-trained Badr Brigade militiamen, this is akin to saying "all militias except mine must disarm." No militia leader is going to agree to those terms, they're simply too dishonest and one-sided. Diplomacy means a situation where everybody leaves the table feeling, if not satisfied, at least that they weren't raped and reamed. Maliki's version of diplomacy appears to be similar to that of his mentor, George W. Bush -- make ridiculous demands, then attack with military force when your opponent doesn't agree to those ridiculous demands.
Oh, I forgot, General Suck-Georgies-Dick Petraeus is gonna testify to Congress shortly that the manly, manly surge has just creamed all over Iraq and turned it into a wonderland (ignore those rockets falling on the Green Zone, all is well, well I say! Who should you believe, General Georgie-dick-sucker or your lyin' eyes?!). Still unknown is whether he's going to give Vice President Cheney a blowjob as the culmination of his testimony. Though I suppose that depends upon whether the Bigus Dickus has his Viagra prescription up-to-date...
