Leaking Diplomacy

Hadley memo leaks disappointment, Iraqis share blame, and meeting sunk?

Charles Krauthammer[on FOXNEWS] on suggestions that the leak of the memo was intentional to sink Iraqi Prime Minister al-Maliki, claims conventional wisdom on the choice between something being intentional genius or bumbling, the latter is more likely. Sounds like plausible deniability under cover of plausible incompetence. The latter is more believable, but no less diabolical.

While politicians in America are lining up the Iraqis to be their excuse for failure, the irony is that al-Maliki is not seen as being strong enough, but standing up to Bush is certainly showing them up.
