In the words of a prominent GOP strategist responding to Nouri al-Maliki endorsing Obama's plan (via Marc Ambinder):

We're fucked.

Boom.

and from the same story

Marc Ambinder

to argue against Maliki would be to predicate that Iraqi sovereignty at this point means nothing.

Now that just really needs leaving out there without further comment.

Yes.  They need to be demanding where McCain now stands on withdrawal, and, if he opposes it, they need to demand to know why he doesn't believe in Iraqi sovereignty.

Don't worry, the tradmed will repackage it as a problem for Obama. How in times of economic uncertainty people will not want cherished American values, such as the right to make endless war on dusky faraway natives, challenged in any way, shape or form.

No way to repackage this.  McCain's "advantage" on the war just exploded in his face.

A Bush aide apparently inadvertently forwarded the story to the press instead of the internal White House email list, too.

They're freaking. the fuck. out.

Maybe, tho' I never bought the idea of McCain's security advantage as existing in anybody's minds except the WaPo editorial board's.

It'll just disappear, alongside all the other McCain problems. Never gets mentioned again.....hey lookee here, Jesse Jackson said something and Obama's got a bad pastor (rinse and repeat).

Ah so there goes the claim on Right wing sites that it's a mistranslation, and the correct translation will be along in a couple of days (Although  in their words  it wont be printed in the Left wing media as they're trying to win Obama  the nobel peace prize!!!)

Iraqi PM backs Obama troop exit plan: report
If anything, it rinforces the suspicion that Obama really is Muslim and Maliki is doing his bit to get him elected.
