O'S TOUR DE FARCE - New York Post
I figure the Iraqis may be inexperienced as to American politics; however, they are clearly not stupid...
In the New York Post, Amir Taheri reports what the Iraqis say:
"'Iraqis were most surprised by Obama's apparent readiness to throw away all the gains made in Iraq simply to prove that he'd been right in opposing the 2003 overthrow of Saddam Hussein. 'He gave us the impression that the last thing he wanted was for Iraq to look anything like a success for the United States,' a senior Iraqi official told me. 'As far as he is concerned, this is Bush's war and must end in lack of success, if not actual defeat'"
