BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The United States must provide a "very clear timeline" to withdraw its troops from Iraq as part of an agreement allowing them to stay beyond this year, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari said on Sunday.
It was the strongest public assertion yet that Iraq is demanding a timeline. U.S. President George W. Bush has long resisted setting a firm schedule for pulling troops out of Iraq, although last month the White House began speaking of a general "time horizon" and "aspirational goals" to withdraw.
Hmmm... timeline for withdrawal... sounds familiar. Wonder where I've heard that before.
The republicans will dig their nails in, like a cat clinging to a curtain or some dude's neck. They don't want to leave, because they want control of the region.
Stumble It!
