What happens if the Iraqi Government votes to get us out of their country?

Would we go?

Should we go?

It might just happen sooner than we think:

quote:
Radical Shiite politicians pressed Thursday for legislation demanding a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S.-led troops and a freeze on the number of foreign forces already in the country � even as the U.S. Congress debates the fate of the troubled mission.
The proposed Iraqi legislation, drafted by the parliamentary bloc loyal to anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, was signed by 144 members of the 275-member house, according to parliamentary officials.

The Sadrist bloc, which holds 30 parliamentary seats and sees the U.S.-led forces as an occupying army, has pushed similar bills before, but this would be the first time it persuaded a majority of lawmakers to sign on.

The majority signed on the bill wanting us to get the hell out. As Republican Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell said:

quote:
Citing media reports, McConnell said some lawmakers in Iraq's parliament wanted a vote to ask the United States to leave.

"I want to assure you, if they vote to ask us to leave, we'll be glad to comply with their request," he said.

Shall we be assured? Does this Administration share that same sentiment? Would Bush dare to occupy the Iraqis against the will of the majority Iraqi government?

If they want us out, should we do just that?

if Sadr manages to get enough votes in Parliament then yes, we would go. we would have to.

...but guess what your party and your nutroot friends and Sadr have in common? it's a very unenviable position IMO.

he won't get the votes. Sadr is an Iranian puppet. Iraqis aren't that stupid.

Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing about YOUR party.

Afterall, Negroponte has this darn bad habit of having death squads follow him wherever he's involved.

He's not the only Iranian puppet. And he's got 144 signatures, which for the first time is the majority of Iraqi parliament (275). The number appears to be growing, not shrinking.

Yeah because Bush is concerned about the price of gasoline and not the record profits reported by his cronies at the oil companies.

The president is saying something else.

Iraqi President asks troops to stay on
May 12, 2007 - 5:59AM

AdvertisementIraq's president, worried about growing opposition in the US Congress to funding for war, said on Friday he believes US and British troops will need to stay in Iraq for one or two more years to help stem surging violence.

Jalal Talabani told students at the University of Cambridge that all of Iraq is safer because Saddam Hussein's was ousted, and that many people are living "normal" lives.

"I think within one or two years we will be able to recruit our forces and prepare our armed forces and tell goodbye to our friends," he said.

He also expressed support for Prime Minister Tony Blair's likely successor, Gordon Brown, who pledged on Friday to learn from the mistakes of the Iraq war.

"I don't know him personally," Talabani said of Brown. "All those Iraqis who met him, including our excellent ambassador here, they are praising him and saying that he's a very clever man, capable, smart."

The Iraqi president also spoke of his concern over growing opposition from Democratic lawmakers in the United States to funding the war without a clear timetable for the withdrawal of American troops.

The US House of Representatives on Thursday passed a draft bill that would fund the war only until July. The bill is unlikely to survive in the Senate, but it indicates the war's unpopularity among US lawmakers and their frustration with the lack of progress in the Iraqi parliament.

"We are concerned," Talabani said. "We hope that Congress will review this decision and help the American army to stay until the Iraqi army will be able to replace them and to protect the security of Iraq."

He offered assurances that Iraq's leaders are doing everything they can on the political front to pursue reconciliation among divided ethnic and religious factions.

But he gave no details on how, for example, minority Sunni Arabs will be given a greater voice in politics, an achievement that many hope will weaken support for the insurgency.

He also would not elaborate on another key American demand - to end delays in the passage of legislation outlining how oil revenues will be shared among Sunnis, Shi'ites and Kurds.

"We are planning to show some tangible achievements to the Congress that we are going forward for national reconciliation, for national unity, for fighting terrorism and achieving peace and security in our country," Talabani said.

The Iraqi president offered praise for Blair, whom he met on Friday morning over breakfast, saying: "We consider Blair as a hero of the liberation of Iraq."

If you really think that the Iraqi government in going to stipulate any benchmarks/timetable you must have serious problems.

I mean shouldn't we be concentrating our efforts to find a solution to Iraq and not create a thread almost every single day promoting withdrawal from way to another? People come on and then many of you wonder when I dont take some of you seriously
