And Now, The Iraqis Weigh In

From Bloomberg:

Iraqi leaders, meeting at a reconciliation conference in Cairo, urged an end to violence in the country and demanded a timetable for the withdrawal of coalition troops from Iraq.

In a final statement, read by Arab League chief Amre Moussa, host of the three-day summit, they called for "the withdrawal of foreign troops according to a timetable, through putting in place an immediate national program to rebuild the armed forces.” No date was specified.

So let’s check the toteboard:

WHO WANTS THE U.S. TO WITHDRAW FROM IRAQ

(1)  Most Democrat leaders

(2)  The majority of the American public

(3)  The U.S. military brass

(4)  The Iraqi people, and now…

(5)  The Iraqi leaders

It’s only the Republican leadership who wants our troops to stay there with no end in sight.
