I think it's funny. Here we have a democratically elected government and Clinton and Levin want the elected leader replaced. I don't like al-Maliki either but it is not up to the US to get rid of him, it's up to the people of Iraq.

In any case I guess he isn't a big Clinton supporter. :D

Angry Iraqi leader lashes out at Clinton

By QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA, Associated Press Writer 41 minutes ago

BAGHDAD - Iraq's beleaguered prime minister on Sunday lashed out at Democrats who have called for his ouster, saying Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Carl Levin need to "come to their senses."

Nouri al-Maliki, who is fighting to hold his government together, issued a series of stinging ripostes against a variety of foreign officials who recently have spoken negatively about his leadership. But those directed at Democrats Clinton, of New York, and Levin, of Michigan, were the most strident.

"There are American officials who consider Iraq as if it were one of their villages, for example Hillary Clinton and Carl Levin. They should come to their senses," al-Maliki said at a news conference.

I have to agree with this. It seems like people in the American government think they have the right to tell other nations how to run themselves.

Shortly afterward, you would read this in the paper:

"11,000 special forces operatives have just completed a daring nighttime mission into the heart of Baghdad where they saran wrapped toilets, filled shoes with shaving cream and then chloroformed and superglued several prominent Iraqi diplomats together in compromising positions. Responding to the attack, Iraqi Prime Minister al-Maliki raged, 'You fuckin' assholes!' "

Defense Secretary Goofball responds to Iraqi verbal defiance with increase in pudding bombings over Baghdad.

1- You don't know what a socialist is.

2- Obama isn't one.

3- One would think you'd support someone like Romney or some other incarnation of darkness. Ron Paul isn't that repulsive. There are better people than him, but he's not that repulsive.

4- The reason I don't support Hillary is due to strategic reasons only.

1- You don't know what a socialist is.

Someone who favors state control over the free market; look at all those preposterous "universal health-care" schemes by the socialist Democratic candidates to see what I mean. Look at the hideously flawed socialist pension system we have, which is in dire need of an overhaul.

2- Obama isn't one.

He's black enough and he's man enough, but he's too red.

3- One would think you'd support someone like Romney or some other incarnation of darkness. Ron Paul isn't that repulsive. There are better people than him, but he's not that repulsive.

Despite what you may believe, I don't support the most repulsive candidate; rather, I choose the one whose ideals align most closely with mine. Being a freedom-loving libertarian, I whole-heartedly love Ron Paul (except for a few minor blemishes on his record in regard to social and military policy).

4- The reason I don't support Hillary is due to strategic reasons only.

And what might those "strategic reasons" of yours be? Perhaps a desire to quash her ambitions of turning the USA into the USSA?
