Iraqi government wants U.S. troops out by 2010

The events in Iraq are proceeding at such a furious pace, that even I can't keep up with them. First, Prime Minister Maliki threw his support for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's plan for withdrawing U.S. forces from Iraq in 16 months. Then the Bush administration strong-armed the Iraqi government, into saying that Maliki statement was "misunderstood and mistranslated." Now the Iraqi government has reversed itself, saying they want U.S. troops out of Iraq by 2010. From YouTube:



Talk about another monkey wrench being thrown into this mess. It seems like that the American people, the Iraqi people, the Iraqi government, the Iraqi prime minister, and the Democratic presidential candidate all want U.S. forces out of Iraq. The Pentagon has stated that U.S. troops will need to be removed from Iraq or the U.S. military will be broken. Only President George W. Bush and Republican presidential candidate John McCain are the only ones that want to continue this disastrous war, regardless of what anyone says.
