As the GOP fights with the Dems over a time table for withdrawl of troops from Iraq, along comes a petition from the newly "Democratically elected" government of Iraq for a withdrawl schedule.

1-Will the U.S give in to this terrorist inspired request?

2- Will Hillary Clinton still back a continuation of the American involvement?

2-Will The Oil Companies stand by while Iraqis take over their Imperial right to control the largest oil fields on the planet?

3- Will Geraldo Rivera and Fox news back off and support Iraqi self determination to control their natural resources?

3-Will the U.S give in to those ungrateful rag heads after 2,100 young American boys have given their lives to bless them with Democracy?

4-Is the following article by the New York Times a communist conspiricy, upps, I mean a terrorist conspiricy?

According to New York Times article on Tuesday Nov, 20, page A-1

IRAQI FACTIONS SEEK TIME-TABLE FOR U.S. PULL OUT, united ****e-Sunni Call. Consensus at Cairo talks comes as pressure on White House grows.

Cairo: Nov 21---- For the first time, Iraq's political factions on Monday collectively called for a timetable for withdrawal of foreign forces, in a moment of consensus that comes as the Bush administration battles pressure at home to commit itself to a pullout schedule.

While condemning the wave of terrorism that has engulfed Iraq, they also acknowledged a general right to resist foreign occupation.While the wording stopped short of condoning armed resistence to the occupation, it broadly acknowledged that "national resistence" is a legitimate right of all nations.

U.S response:

In Washington, Justin Higgins, a State Department spokesman said, "The United States supports the basic foundation of the conference and we certainly support ongoing discussion among Iraq's various political and religious communities."

But regarding troop withdrawl, he said, " Multinational forces are present in Iraq under "a mandate" of the U.N. security council. As President Bush has said, the coalition remains commited to helping the Iraqi people achieve security and stability as they re-build their country. WE WILL STAY AS LONG AS IT TAKES TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS AND NO LONGER."
