Bow down

In the middle of an AP report on the Iraqi PM's visit to Washington lies this:

Al-Maliki's visit, meanwhile, prompted a sharply worded letter from leading Senate Democrats saying it is essential that the Iraqi leader clarify, before his Wednesday address to Congress, whether he supports or denounces Hezbollah's attacks against Israel.

"Your failure to condemn Hezbollah's aggression and recognize Israel's right to defend itself raises serious questions about whether Iraq under your leadership can play a constructive role in resolving the current crisis and bringing stability to the Middle East," said the letter obtained by The Associated Press. It was signed by Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and Sens. Richard Durbin of Illinois and Charles Schumer of New York.
God bless those fine folks who roam the esteemed halls of Congress.

Clearly, a man who is supposedly in charge of rectifying a nightmare born of DC deserves to be lectured on his unwillingness to bless the murder of children, the razing of entire city blocks, and the displacement of nearly 20% of a sovereign country.

Fuckin' ingrate. Doesn't he realize that when speaking on American soil one must first bow down to Israel?

More unintentional hilarity here. Note that the charge is being led by Democrats.
