This one made me smile.

Did anyone (including the OP) follow the link and actually read the story?

Give us guns – and troops can go, says Iraqi leader
Stephen Farrell in Baghdad
# Prime Minister wants change of US policy
# Mistakes over Saddam hanging, Times told [1] Who is responsible for whether or not Iraqi security forces get weapons? The Administration. So the part of Bushes [sic] plan that deals with weapons for Iraqi security forces? Failing.

[2] "Nouri al-Maliki said the insurgency had been bloodier and prolonged because Washington had refused to part with equipment." Failing.

[3] "In a sign of the tense relations with Washington, he chided the US for suggesting his Government was living on “borrowed time”. Such criticism boosted Iraq’s extremists, he said, and was more a reflection of “some kind of crisis situation” in Washington after the Republicans’ midterm election losses." So Maliki thinks that the Administration has used language that encourages the extremists in Iraqi. Failing.

If this article is offered as some kind of proof that Bushes [sic] plans are succeeding, well, I think the effort is much like that of Bush in Iraqi ... failing.
