This should not be a political issue, so when I hear ANY Presidential candidate talk of "an immediate pullout" this reises My eyebrow, as to the Candidate''''s intelligence in the area of foregn Affairs.

Do YOU honestly BELIEVE the trash you post?? EVEN for a tired Bootlicker like yourself you post is beyond belief. NO ONE, especially the ONE Senator who had the COURAGE to step up and challenge the LIE of Iraq BEFORE we were committed to it has proposed what you post! It SURE sounds to me like the Leader of Iraq and Senator from Illinois are speaking the same language... it''s the fuhrer and McSame who aren''t on the same page. Now lets stand... let SHOOTER know you''re doing your best!! SIEG HEIL BUSH!! thatta boy, there''ll be a Confederate Flag Pin for you at the next rally!!

From the above article, "Al-Maliki says the proposed memorandum includes a formula for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.

President Bush has said he opposes the idea of a specific timetable. "

IOW, Bush has decided that the USA will remain there until he is ready to brign the troops home. It doesn''t matter whether the Iraqi government is ready to go it alone or not.

Short term, huh?

How''s this: all American troops start withdrawing immediately. Short enough for you?

Couldn''t we just stabilize it by stuffing a few fascists under the edges?

We have plenty, and we really don''t need them.

Iraq''s oil infrastructure was rebuilt when Cheney controlled Haliburton. Halliburton/Iraq deal was done through the French because it was illegal for US companies to deal with Iraq, except for the oil for food program which US oil companies participated in.

Saddam was charging US interests more for oil then other countries and cutting off supplies at times so the PNAC asked Clinton to get rid of Saddam, he refused .

Paul Wolfowitz,Don Rumsfeld, Scooter Libby, George Bush, Richard Cheney, Eliot Cohen. Zalmay Khalilzad, Steve Forbes, Donald Kagan, Pete Rodman, Henry S Rowen, Dan Quale, William J.Bennett, Jeb Bush,

they are all members of the PNAC Project for a New American Century.

On January 26, 1998 in a letter to the President the PNAC asked Clinton to invade Iraq and get rid of Saddam Hussein.. Clinton refused their request.

The Times of India August 2007 reported :

" Iran, Iraq signed an agreement to build pipelines for the transfer of Iraqi crude oil and oil products." Under the deal crude will be refined and sent back to Iraq. Bush opposed this agreement and wanted the Iraqi Parliment to accept and sign a U.S. designed oil law that would result in huge profits for BIG OIL.

Iraqi oil workers and 63% of Iraqis polled are opposed to the Bush law and prefer a hands off Iraq oil policy.

The bottom line is "stability" in the Region. I think that in the interest of stability - the U.S. should tak a good listen to The PM''s proposal, as it is a better starting point , as opposed to the provious position coming out of Iraq. We can not just up a withdraw from this Country (Iraq), after having played such a major role in it''s transition from a Tyrant led regeme to it''s current status - that being a government capable of, eventually, taking care of itself as a progressive role player in the middle east. Our troops will come home, but anyone that thinks that an immediate, and unconditional, pullout is the answer - has no clue as to the ramifications of such action. This should not be a political issue, so when I hear ANY Presidential candidate talk of "an immediate pullout" this reises My eyebrow, as to the Candidate''s intelligence in the area of foregn Affairs.

RE: "Iraq PM Wants Short-Term U.S. Agreement"

Here''s one:


%u201CWhy we stand for immediate withdrawal of all US troops from Iraq%u201D

%u201CTHE U.S. occupation of Iraq has not liberated the Iraqi people, but has made life worse for most Iraqis.%u201D

%u201CTens of thousands of U.S. service people have been killed or maimed, and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis have lost their lives as a result of the U.S. invasion in 2003, the ongoing occupation, and the violence unleashed by them.%u201D

%u201CIraq''s infrastructure has been destroyed, and U.S. plans for reconstruction abandoned. There is less electricity, less clean drinking water, and more unemployment today than before the U.S. invasion.%u201D

%u201CAll of the justifications initially provided by the U.S. for waging war on Iraq have been exposed as lies; the real reasons for the invasion %u2014 to control Iraq''s oil reserves and to increase U.S. strategic influence in the region %u2014 now stand revealed.%u201D

%u201CThe Bush administration has insisted again and again that stability, democracy, and prosperity are around the next bend in the road%u2026But the U.S. has deliberately stoked sectarian divisions in its ongoing attempt to install a U.S.-friendly regime, thus driving Iraq towards civil war.%u201D

%u201CWe call on the U.S. to get out of Iraq %u2014 not in six months, not in a year, but now.%u201D

"Al-Maliki says the proposed memorandum includes a formula for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq."

From the looks of this Article it would seem Al-Maliki and Obama are on the same withdrawal page and McCain won''t be able to keep the U.S. in Iraq even if he wants to! Interesting development to say the least!

ROFLMAO It seems EVERYONE is on the same page with the FRAUD of Iraq except the Fascist!! ROFLMAO I wonder how Sir Lies-A-Lot and his clone McSame are going to spin this one?? ROFLMAO In Short all you BOOTLICKERS the PEOPLE of Iraq DO NOT want us there for 100 years... in fact they don''t want us there at all. WE are going to end up with a Nation of Iraq that is going to be friends with and allied to IRAN and there''s not a lot WE are going to do about it.
