Back to the OP, I had heard another report that Maliki claimed that the withdrawal of US troops would lead to a full break down of the government. I believe that came from our ever compliant msp.
The current Iraqi government has been a US puppet and many of the members remain at their homes or have escaped the country. Iraqi police are now turning their guns on our troops, and Maliki asks for more guns and training of the Iraqi police.
It is long past time to leave, but Bush will not do so under any circumstances as long as the oil sharing legislation is not passed. The Iraqi oil unions are speaking out, both in the US and elsewhere, revealing the rape of Iraqi resources that this "war" was all about.
I would love the possibility that Maliki double crossed his US promoters, by his invitation to leave without the oil legislation that they demanded.
