Coup Coup Ca Choo

In recent months there has been some talk that the Bush administration was getting fed up with the new head of the Iraqi government, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. There has even been talk of a possible coup d'etat. The rumors were so great that President Bush had to personally reassure al-Maliki that no timetable or deadline was being set up.

Of course that was before they went ahead and set up a timetable. Predictably, Al-Maliki isn't happy.
...The defiant al-Maliki also slammed the top U.S. military and diplomatic representatives in Iraq for saying Iraq needed to set a timetable to curb violence ravaging the country.

"I affirm that this government represents the will of the people and no one has the right to impose a timetable on it," al-Maliki said at a news conference.

Mr. Maliki might want to remember whose really in charge over there. King George does not take kindly to his viceroys getting out of hand.
