Iraqi PM Flown To London Amidst Rumors of Depression
Sunday, December 30, 2007
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki flew to London for what he claimed was a routine check up. However rumors persist that the true purpose of his journey was to seek treatment for symptoms of depression. According to the Los Angeles Times, two of Maliki's aides denied that he was suffering from "exhaustion".
Would it really be so strange if Maliki had the blues? His government is in a seemingly perpetual state of paralysis and Iraq has been teetering on the brink of civil war for the duration of his tenure. Worse still he has to grin and take orders from a sneering sociopath who's frail heart fails with him less regularity than his conscience.
