Why?
Because his boss is running for President. Because if elected (ha), Kerry will have to work very closely with Allawi. Recall, this is the same Kerry who keeps rambling about how he "wants to work with" foreign leaders.
Because our soldiers are overseas fighting an enemy that is doing its best to convince Iraqi citizens that the Iraqi government is illegitimate.
Because Lockhart's statements - like Kerry's statements about war crimes - give succor to the enemy and provide him with lies and propaganda to use against our troops, putting them further in harm's way
This is outrageous. Lockhart is a disgrace and an embarrassment.
