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.
