you gotta love this - Bush isn't even gonna support the newly, democratically elected Prime Minister of Iraq
Quote:
The ambassador, Zalmay Khalilzad, told the head of the main #####e political bloc at a meeting on Saturday to pass on a "personal message from President Bush" to the interim prime minister, Ibrahim al-Jaafari, said Redha Jowad Taki, a #####e member of Parliament who was at the meeting.
Mr. Khalilzad said Mr. Bush "doesn't want, doesn't support, doesn't accept" Mr. Jaafari as the next prime minister, according to Mr. Taki, a senior aide to Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, the head of the #####e bloc. It was the first "clear and direct message" from the Americans on a specific candidate for prime minister, Mr. Taki said.
