Has no one in the main stream media noticed the breathtaking irony of U.S. “President” George W. Bush’s recent criticisms of Iraq “Prime Minister” Nouri al Maliki’s failure to resolve the sectarian conflicts now roiling the “Plain Old Disaster” known as Iraq?

One of the most – if not the most – partisan U.S. Presidential Administrations in the modern era has the unmitigated gall to directly and indirectly criticize the hobbled Maliki government for its inability to resolve the millennial differences between the deadly adversaries in the wasp’s nest that is Iraq.

The very existence of the Bush Administration depended on the ruthless partisanship masterminded by the recently departed Bush advisor Karl Rove, who viciously attacked Democrats in his efforts to invigorate and mobilize the Republican “base.”

The U.S. President has not found the decency to even refer to his opposition by its proper name: “The Democratic Party.” He consistently – and contemptuously – calls them the “Democrat” Party.

Recently, a spokesman for former Iraqi Prime Minister – and Maliki rival – Iyad Allawi criticised the Maliki government by saying “The problem is in having a political agenda that is founded on a sectarian basis.”

Really.

Listen to Bush decry The Democratic Party for its criticism of Iraq War supporter Senator Joe Lieberman (who, by the way, is still very much a member of The Democratic Party).
