UH-OH: MALIKI BACKS ASSAD!?

Bashar al-Assad’s violent crackdown on demonstrators in Syria, Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki of Iraq has struck a far friendlier tone, urging the protesters not to “sabotage” the state and hosting an official Syrian delegation.

Mr. Maliki’s support for Mr. Assad has illustrated how much Iraq’s position in the Middle East has shifted toward an axis led by Iran.

MALIKI HAS LOOKED AT OBAMA AND TEHRAN AND HAS CHOSEN THE ONE HE THINKS IS THE STRONG HORSE.

THIS IS WHY I HAVE LONG SAID THAT THE ROAD TO PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST GOES THROUGH TEHRAN.

WE NEED REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN.
