bollocks!
what's bollocks? Baffled
everything!
in what way? Baffled
i just don't think we should be so hasty to pull out. certain people might find it a sign of weakness due in part to a new vulnerable leader (which i certainly hope isn't the case)
except the point here is that it's not your decision
it's the iraqis who are voting (if they do) for the occupying forces to go home
i bet they DONT! bahahaha!
actually they did it on friday:

oh well...3 years then it can be fairly tactfully done...my worry is packing up altogether & living now as many want to see happen (ironically none of the people actually there, it seems)
The US/UK coalition destroyed their country's infrastructure, finished off their economy after years of sanctions, stole their oil resources, fomented civil war and were responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands - and the forced emigration of many more.

It's no surprise that many Iraqi people want them to restore some level of actual security before they finally clear out en masse - if that actually happens (which I doubt).
