Susan G. over at DailyKos is reporting that the Little Emperor finds Ibrahim al-Jaafari unacceptable as Prime Minister of Iraq.
Our ambassador there, Mr.Khalilzad, has announced to reporters that President Bush "doesn't want, doesn't support, doesn't accept" Jaafari as head of the Iraqi government.
So much for democracy.
Jaafari is a Shia and an important figure in the Daawa Party, which led the revolt against Sadam following the first Iraq War. The revolt was crushed and Jaafari went into exile along with other Daawa leaders.
He's not a hardliner, and says he wants to bring Sunnis into active participation in the government. But I guess that's not good enough.
Elections notwithstanding, Bush has indicated he wants to get himself another boy.
