So, is Maliki now the President of the Greenzone...?
Does it make any difference...?
If you assume that nothing will be done during the Bush Administration...
The Neocons simply can not pull out now because it would be an admission of total failure...
A failure that could be used at future war crimes trials...
These trials will be held AFTER the administration leaves office...the international community will simply insist on it...
And we don't even know how bad this thing is going to get going forward...
In effect Bush is "taking the fifth" on Iraq these days...hoping that in two years he can seamlessly pass his mess to a Democratic President...who will be distracted by the disaster and have no time for indignation against the former administation...
