Such a regime, which has even aligned itself with Bush’s arch-enemy Iran, isn’t likely to accede to Bush’s wish for a permanent U.S. occupation of Iraq, especially given that Iraqi officials know that Bush will soon find himself without political power clearing brush at his ranch in Crawford, Texas.

    Hypocrite Quote:
    "Since when does a country that was defeated in a war have the right to negotiate anything unless the winner allows it to negotiate? I don't really care what Iraq wants. I only care about what will be best for America".

    To the moron who posted this note, here is my take.

    . Iraq did not attack America and start a war.
    . America invaded, destroyed and occupying Iraq for its oil wealth.
    . There is no winner and no loser but hundreds of thousands of innocents died.

    I agree with Nuri Al Maliki. It is about time the invaders and occupiers GET THE HELL OUT of Iraq and leave the country to its people. If they like Iran, no wonder. They are all part of Middle East and neighbors. They have a right to decide what is good for them AND CARE LESS about what is good for America, the invader.

      Judging by the size of our future embassy I would have to say that corporate america considers Iraq to be a colony. Does anyone remember the East India Trading Company? Corporate america is its modern equivelant.

        This article makes many good points. Bush himself has said "if they ask us to leave we will". Well it sounds like they are asking. Time to make good on our word.
