Much has been made in the media in the past day of al Malaki, the president of Iraq, "snubbing" President Bush by putting off a scheduled meeting between the two. Adding to the tensions was a government leak which called into question the abilities of al Maliki as leader of Iraq.
Today, President Bush said that we will not make a graceful exit from Iraq: "we will remain in Iraq until the job is done, as long as the government wants us there."
Now here's a conspiracy theory for you.
It's clear that we have to get out of Iraq. Everyone knows it, including Bush and Karl Rove. So could the rising and high-profile tensions mounting between Bush and al Maliki be the beginning of an orchestrated withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, at the "request" of Iraqi president al Maliki?
Hmmmmmm....
Well, you heard it here first!
