Now that Iraq's freely elected Parliament and their freely elected Prime Minister (Maliki) have both asked us to leave, it kinda gives the lie to Bush's (& McCain's for that matter) reason for staying, doesn't it???

Talk about spinning a story to suit your own agenda? Maybe you should have read the whole article instead of just the first paragraph?

The United States believes those decisions should be "based on conditions on the ground" and Iraqi officials agree with that, she said.
Iraq's national security adviser on Tuesday said Iraq would not accept any security agreement with the United States unless it included dates for the withdrawal of foreign forces. But the government's spokesman said any timetable would depend on security conditions on the ground.
Their differences underscored the debate in Baghdad over the security pact with Washington that will provide a legal basis for U.S. troops to remain when a U.N. mandate expires at the end of the year
The White House said the statements from Iraqi officials about a timetable for troop withdrawal partly reflected improvements in the security situation in Iraq.
"I think that is a reflection of first and foremost the positive developments that we've seen recently in Iraq, but in addition to that, the negotiations are intensifying," Perino said.
"This is about their future and they want to take on more of their own responsibility, and we want that too," she said.
Perino said she would not put a timetable on when the security agreement might be completed.
"We want to be able to try to work this out quickly and the main reason that we want this is because our troops are going to be there past the end of this year, that's a fact," she said.

If you are going to post a link, be prepared that some of us may actually take the time to read it.

Timetables, if we have them, should not be for public knowledge. You really don't need to alert the enemy as to what the plans are. If we indeed set a date for withdrawal, we should probably leave the day before.

Don't alert the enemy as to what your plans are? Good plan, maybe DHS should follow it by abandoning the color threat code?

They want us out regardless of the SPIN that Dana Perino trys to put on things. Took alot of guts for Maliki to come out & say what he did. With billions at stake for Exxon-Mobil & Dick Cheney's Haliburton, I wouldn't want to be the life insurance company that has a policy on him. (Cheney/Busgh wouldn't bat an eye to have him killed by an "accidental" air strike)
When Perino says this: The United States believes those decisions should be "based on conditions on the ground" and Iraqi officials agree with that, she said........You believe her after all the lies this White House has vomited all over us in the last 8 years?
I dont!

You have more fucking conspiracies flying out of your ass than camels have fleas.

Get a goddamn grip on reality. It seems you have slipped and now you're lying in the freeway of the middle of this mess.

its actually too bad that bush is leaving, because this could have turned into an interesting showdown. what if it ever got to the point that iraq demanded that we leave, no troops, no base, just leave. would we do it? something tells me bush or mccain would show resisitance to that. and then we'd have a real mess on our hands. then it WOULD be an occupation, and an unwanted one at that. luckily i don't think it will get to that point, but it would have been interesting to see play out.

How is the color threat code telling anyone what our plans are?

People like you can't even define the enemy! My advice to you, lay off Fox snews or a bit, clear your mind.

Now the questions is, how many years do you think it will take Obama to finally get out of Iraq, and will you people still be trying to spin this information the same way under your token black President?


Do you think it will be within 1 year? 2 years? lol How about 3 years?
