Like has been stated many times before, I Iraqi government will determine when we pull out. Not us. Shooting for next spring /summer in order to train Iraqi troops seems like a good timeline for all.
if this is what they want,we should immediatly withdraw no questions asked.
theyve said it like twice now. werent you listening?Quote:

From the article:
Asked how soon a U.S. withdrawal should happen, he said no exact timetable had been set. "But we confirm and we desire speed in that regard," he said, speaking through a translator. "And this fast pace has two aspects."
First, there must be a quickening of the pace of U.S. training of Iraqi security forces, and second there must be closely coordinated planning between the U.S.-led military coalition and the emerging Iraq government on a security transition, he said.
"We do not want to be surprised by a withdrawal that is not in connection with our Iraqi timing,"' he said.
I don't see anywhere where it says leave now! They want their forces trained to the point where they can take control THEN we should pull out.

Please tell me that you can come tp the conclusion that we couldve pulled troops out about this time.
we COULD have elected john kerry but that would have been stupid,just like pulling out of iraq last year.
You show me where the Iraqi Government asked the U.S. to leave. HELLO!!! They've been saying the whole time that they want us to STAY until their millitary is up to speed. Read Forest, Read!!!Quote:
