Do you have a non-moonbat source for that news? I don't doubt the main story, but I found the article almost impossible to read because it was written so poorly. Honestly, people shouldn't write propaganda unless they are good at it. I don't mean that every propaganda writer needs to be an NLP expert, but those two authors have a lot of basic psychology to study before they should once again pick up the poisoned pen. I think that we all agree that it would be nice to be able to leave Iraq with a stable government which protects the rights of all of it's citizens. The Iraqi government does not yet feel that they are ready for us to leave. We are all looking forward to the day when that changes. Most of those representatives felt safe passing a non-binding resolution. Yet when it comes time to actually let us leave, they delay. I understand this. They want one thing on a theoretical level and they need a different thing on a practical level. This is why Bismark called politics "the art of the possible."
Why would they US Media pick up on something like this? How would releasing this information help anyone, anywhere Quote The continuing occupation of Iraq and the allocation of Iraq's resources -- especially its massive oil and natural gas deposits -- are the defining issues that now separate an increasingly restless bloc of nationalists in the Iraqi parliament from the administration of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, whose government is dominated by Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish separatists. How come these issues come into the mix after all they are only relative to Billions of US Dollars in Revenue Surely, you have to be kidding that anyone or any government would be interested in these Billions of US Dollars in Revenue
You're funny. Iraqi's total exports last year were worth $32.2 billion dollars. 88% of that is oil. Iraq is, in total, almost irrelevant to the U.S. economy. Florida, Illinois, and Michigan each individually export more than Iraq. Imports? Iraq imported $2.4B in U.S. goods last year. That's not exactly a big boon to our trade deficit. That's about as much as Egypt imports from the U.S. Hell, Iraq imports twice as much from Turkey as they do from the U.S. The United States imports ten times more from Mexico than from Iraq. Hell, we import almost twice as much from France as we do from Iraq. Seriously Pete, you have been listening to the wrong guys for political analysis.
It appears that only the leftard U.S. media ignored the story. The Fair & Balanced folks covered the story here: Iraq Bill Demands U.S. Troop Withdraw
Who cares what Iraqi law makers want? It is not like they are really a government? Their Job is to sit and look pretty, so it look like that Iraq has a government.
We hate having to be there too. But for now, it is necessary. This is why the Iraqi government is pushing so hard to have us stay. Current projections are for 750k Iraqi civilian casualties if we leave right now. If we leave now, the entire county will fall to Islamic extremists. It will bring down a regional dark ages. Everyone is impatient, but the Iraqi's do not seem to be nearly as impatient as the Islamists.
hey they are not christians they are muslim and islam is their religion and there is no dark age in religion And america is in Iraq for patrol not for religion and they met dark age with america not with islasmic extremists
They can have whatever religion they want. This is not relevant to the U.S. mission. Bahahahahaha... Look at the Islamic world. Look how much of it today lives in the dark ages. The collective Gross National Product of the all Muslim countries stands at $1,200bn, that of Germany alone is $2,500bn and that of Japan $5,500bn. The U.S. issues over one hundred thousand patents a year. Iran and Saudi Arabia both issue fewer than ten. Islam, wherever it spreads, brings poverty and ignorance.
