Then that would be the true "nail in the coffin" because we went there to remove Saddam and to liberate Iraqis and fight terror and remove wmds. With the Iraqi PM saying we can leave now, then by all means, we should declare "Mission accomplished" and leave Iraq since it is their wish we do so.
If we are holding out for petroleum concession then that is truly shameful and a further indictment on the Bush Administration that this debacle of a war is total BS. If we need to be "reimbursed" for war expenditures. then I'm sure we can work out some sort of payment program with the Iraqi government and send them a bill. Hopefully the Iraqi government will show some gratitude and act accordingly. Or, seeing how apparently Republicans are the most "compassionate", then we can write off the expense and tell the mothers and fathers of dead soldiers that their sons and daughters died for charity and compassion.
