We don't want to be there, they don't want us there, what's the problem?

Iraqi Leaders Call for Pullout Timetable

Nov 22, 8:38 AM (ET)

By SALAH NASRAWI

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Reaching out to the Sunni Arab community, Iraqi leaders called for a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S.-led forces and said Iraq's opposition had a "legitimate right" of resistance.

The communique - finalized by Shiite, Kurdish and Sunni leaders Monday - condemned terrorism but was a clear acknowledgment of the Sunni position that insurgents should not be labeled as terrorists if their operations do not target innocent civilians or institutions designed to provide for the welfare of Iraqi citizens.

The leaders agreed on "calling for the withdrawal of foreign troops according to a timetable, through putting in place an immediate national program to rebuild the armed forces ... control the borders and the security situation" and end terror attacks.

The preparatory reconciliation conference, held under the auspices of the Arab League, was attended by Iraqi President Jalal Talabani and Iraqi Shiite and Kurdish lawmakers as well as leading Sunni politicians.

3. We should have left after the bullshit aircraft carrier moment...
That was the moment at which the military had done its job.

These are soldiers, not civil administrators. They're trained to kill, not to nation-build. They did their job -- invading Iraq and overthrowing Saddam's regime -- in record time, regardless of the fact that the invasion itself was a bad idea. The rest has all been crap.

5. dobson and his kind insist on more American Bloodshed
Not enough of our kids have died in iraq nor has there been enough Iraqi bloodshed to satisfy religious zealots in this country. Death and destruction and despair and hate and lies - conservative values.

Thanks for the commongroundrelief website Babylon - YOU are an angel.

7. Problem is Smirk and Sneer won't let us leave.
According to them, the Iraqis who want us out are traitors to America and they are sticking a knife in Iraq. Sneer wants Iraqis to leave Iraq. These two are insane!
