Auggh!!! - when will the stupid stop?

We're being held hostage... by Iraq!... at least, that's how this news is being interpreted:
Iraq slides election until January

BAGHDAD – National parliamentary elections will be held Jan. 30, Iraqi officials announced Monday, sliding the date into next year in a move that could complicate the U.S. timetable for drawing down its forces.
[emphasis added]
Whatever happened to,
"... when it comes to our security, we really don't need anybody's permission."
[Bush on Iraq: We Don't Need Permission, 7 Mar 2003]
???

Why is what is best for the U.S. being held hostage to Iraq's domestic politics???
