Hillary Clinton has joined Democratic Senator Carl Levin (D-Mich) in publicly urging the Iraqi parliament to dump Prime Minister Nuri Al-Maliki. According to Mrs. Clinton, Al-Maliki must go because he is a “divisive" figure who is "too beholden to religious and sectarian leaders." This should go in the dictionary as an example of “chutzpah.”

Let's examine the pot that calls the kettle black: Mrs. Clinton has unprecedented negative ratings. If she is elected President, it will be due to ferocious and zealous supporters who are united in their distaste for her political enemies – Republicans. Mrs. Clinton is no stranger to bare knuckle politics and demonization of her enemies. Perhaps Mr. Maliki should publicly urge American voters to not elect her due to her divisiveness and her political debt to shady characters.

If I was Mr. Maliki, I wouldn't be too concerned about Mrs. Clinton's demand that he be removed as Iraq's leader. I seem to remember another Clinton who supposedly wanted the ouster of an Iraq leader but did nothing about it.
