If we invaded Canada, say, and plopped in an unknown Prime Minister of our choosing after making everyone 'vote' for him, why would we expect him to able to control the angry citizens let alone run the country? And if the population of Canada was in the midst of a civil war and the PM's shaky support came from one of the factions, would he try to contain them?
So when Bush demands that al-Maliki rein in the militias that are actually part of his base, can Maliki say no?
