McCain Strategist: "We're Fucked."

Attribution to the title of this post, here.

These Maliki comments are going to be a gamechanger on Iraq. McSame can't paint Obama as out of touch on Iraq when the democratically elected prime minister of Iraq endorses Obama's withdrawal plan and says that John "Maybe a Hundred Years" McStay's approach is only going to cause further troubles.

Another fine analysis here (also, I like how the Bush White House released Maliki's comments to the press, when they actually meant to circulate it internally; if that isn't representative of the ineptitude of the Bush presidency, nothing is).
