Bush gives Maliki kiss of death

On Wednesday, President Bush told a veterans' convention in Kansas City, Mo., that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri K. al-Maliki is "a good man with a difficult job and I support him."

Hmm.

On Sept. 2, 2005, in Mobile, Ala., Bush, talking about Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Michael D. Brown, said: "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."  The president was referring to FEMA's response to Hurricane Katrina. Despite his "heck of a job" Brown was forced to resign seven days later.

Bush has demonstrated he is not a good judge of character.

I suspect Maliki's days as prime minister are now numbered (and in Iraq, that could mean his days are literally numbered).
