Should beg elsewhere

Just in time for Halloween, Iraqi Prime Minister and Iranian lapdog Nouri al-Maliki came to America to beg for military aid.

After 4,500 of our brave soldiers gave their lives in Iraq, after 40,000 more were wounded and after we spent close to $1 trillion, al-Maliki still wants more from us. If President Barack Obama has any sense of right and wrong, or at least any sense of outrage, then he needs to give al-Maliki a swift kick and tell him to go beg somewhere else.
