Dems whack Iraqi PM for not standing up for Israel

What was his crime, again?
Has the world gone completely insane?
It looks that way to me. Consider these two stories.
First, this from Reuters:
U.S. congressional Democrats expressed alarm on Tuesday over Iraq's denunciation of Israel in the Middle East conflict, and some said Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's address to Congress should be canceled unless he apologizes.This story has so much that's so wrong, and on so many levels.
A group of about 20 House of Representatives Democrats sent a letter to House Speaker Dennis Hastert urging the Illinois Republican to secure an apology from Maliki or cancel the address on Wednesday to a joint meeting of Congress. Some said they planned to boycott the speech.[…]OK, here come the Dems, who were too chicken-shit to stand up to Bush when he declared a War on Terrr (said chicken-shititude having led to the invasion of Iraq, secret prisons, etc.), but now have found sufficient spine to take a transparently political whack at our puppet ruler in Iraq for his poor puppetude.
What was his crime, again?
