Iraqi PM wins key security vote

Iraq's parliament has voted to back Prime Minister Nouri Maliki's new drive to improve security in Baghdad.
Mr Maliki said operations would be under Iraqi control with US troops acting in support.
The key bloc of MPs allied to radical Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr - which had boycotted parliament for two months - gave its backing to the plan.

This is the man whose army is a "military target."

One veteran military expert on Iraq, retired Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor, told Inter Press Service that Bush's new policy is a "war against all" in Iraq and called it "a blunder of Hitlerian proportions".

So who are we really there to support? Who besides the Kurds are our friends?
