Maliki calls for a timetable for withdrawal of U.S. troops

Well, now we will get to see Dubya's definition of democracy and freedom up close. Wonder how the administration will spin this one.

June 24, 2006 -
"A timetable for withdrawal of occupation troops from Iraq. Amnesty for all insurgents who attacked U.S. and Iraqi military targets. Release of all security detainees from U.S. and Iraqi prisons. Compensation for victims of coalition military operations.

Those sound like the demands of some of the insurgents themselves, and in fact they are. But they're also key clauses of a national reconciliation plan drafted by new Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who will unveil it Sunday. The provisions will spark sharp debate in Iraq—but the fiercest opposition is likely to come from Washington, which has opposed any talk of timetables, or of amnesty for insurgents who have attacked American soldiers..."

I wonder how they will spin this--might even watch Tony Snow to find out.

This guy,like probably many other educated intelligent Iraqis must know that Bushcorp is there for the oil

non event like the Miami 7.

For some incontrovertible statement from the Iraqi govt. like this. It... it just brings a smile to my face. I look forward to seeing bush's face when he addresses this publicly. I love his little petulant face. It almost makes the last 6 years worthwhile...

but then, there's karl.

Pleased to see the M$M not ignoring this very important development.

As Bush himself has said, Iraq can see an analogy from the Hungarian rebellion of 1956. Just as Hungarians fought off an foreign invader, the Iraqis are fighting a foreign invader. Their cause is just!

Meanwhile, the families of over 2,500 dead American GIs can take solace in the thought that their sons and daughters died to bring about an Islamic Republic in Iraq that will be allied with Iran in any future Iran-USA conflict.

Let us give thanks to our Glorious Commander-in-Chief for doing so much to advance Islamic fundamentalism throughout the world!
