Nouri al-Maliki, US Commander-in-Chief
These are the opening lines of an Associated Press story that ran in today’s Boston Globe under the headline - Iraq to delay pullout of US in some areas; Maliki wants troops to help secure regions:
“Bagdad - US troops will not be removed from areas of Iraq that are not completely secure or where there is a high probability that attacks could resume after the Americans leave, Iraq's prime minister said yesterday.
Nouri al-Maliki said in an interview with the Associated Press that he had told President Obama and other top US officials that any troop withdrawals "must be done with our approval" and in coordination with the Iraqi government.
‘I do not want any withdrawals except in areas considered 100 percent secure and under control. Any area where there is a likelihood of a resumption of attacks - withdrawals from there will be postponed,’ Maliki said during his flight from Australia to Baghdad at the end of a five-day visit.” (End of AP excerpt.)
Obviously I missed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Chasing 160 million in bonuses is consuming all the Emporer's time though. He just signed a bill with 9,000 earmarks totalling 8 billion dollars. Is anyone paying attention?
