NIE: Intelligence community has tepid faith in Iraqi leaders - CNN.com

It's perfectly fine to have nervous feelings towards the current Iraqi leader.  Most people are justified with that.  The guy has a hard job to do, but it's not impossible.  Sure, I imagine there are things that he could be doing better, but I'm willing to cut him some slack.

Hillary Clinton isn't.  That's fine too, but she's calling for his ouster.

Clinton went on to say she "hopes that the Iraqi parliament will replace Prime Minister Maliki with a less divisive and more unifying figure when it returns in a few weeks."

Hillary, the guy was democratically elected.  Calling for his replacement at such a crucial time isn't going to help the fledgling government.  They'll have to have new elections, get a guy in, then he'll have to get up to speed.  Those things take time and waste valuable resources.

What it amounts to is her trying to have it both ways.  Undercut the Iraqi government while trying to pander to Americans who want the surge efforts to continue.

We all see the sheep's clothing Hillary.
