Our Iraqi Allies
 
Bush mentioned our Iraqi allies several times in his speech last night. Allies? They weren't when we invaded. They don't seem to be now. WHen we're gone, they probably won't be - especially give the Shiia majority and Iran's Shiia influence. How can he call them allies?

I'll say it again, we have no allies in the mid-east.

Because calling them 'meat puppets' would not be considered diplomatic, even for him.
