Not that the wingnuts care, but since they do go on and on and on about Democracy For Iraq, perhaps they might pay a little more attention to the wishes of a majority of the Iraqi Parliament, i.e, "get the fuck out of Iraq!!!" Notice the choice of word: "occupying."
Iraq lawmakers want U.S. forces out as part of deal
Wed Jun 4, 2008 8:11pm EDT
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A majority of the Iraqi parliament has written to Congress rejecting a long-term security deal with Washington if it is not linked to a requirement that U.S. forces leave, a U.S. lawmaker said on Wednesday.
Rep. William Delahunt, a Massachusetts Democrat and Iraq war opponent, released excerpts from a letter he was handed by Iraqi parliamentarians laying down conditions for the security pact that the Bush administration seeks with Iraq.
"The majority of Iraqi representatives strongly reject any military-security, economic, commercial, agricultural, investment or political agreement with the United States that is not linked to clear mechanisms that obligate the occupying American military forces to fully withdraw from Iraq," the letter to the leaders of Congress said.

The national Clear Channel hosts
such as "Weekend's" Mike McConnell
have deliberately lied about this and most aspects of the war for more than five years.
Today, in an hour devoted to "McCain or Obama?" McConnell said he couldn't vote for Obama on his war exit position alone. Why?
"The Iraqis themselves want us to stay." His constant lie for five years despite a multitude of polls since 2003 saying the exact opposite, with both Sunni and Shiite majorities approving of insurgent attacks on US troops.
When McConnell was provided
this Reuters piece showing the Iraqi parliament wants us gone, he modified his position.
Not.
He refused to acknowledge receipt thereof, although regularly quoting e mail extemporaneously as it comes in. No matter-he could have been handed it like divorce papers in person and gone on lying, for he has read many of the earlier polls of Iraqis without acknowledgement.
The explanation comes from advertisers of the AIPAC mold, directly or indirectly and all concealed under program director
Darryl Parks' Media Animal Housing aphorism, so typical of the CC aesthetic "Never let the facts get in the way of a good talk show."
Right, Parks-even when much more useless American blood is spilled in an unwinnable war as a result of constant non-factual warmongering by the corporate media.
