Did you read the article?/

B n B -

"The petition formalizes a widely held sentiment among many legislators — and among Iraqis in general — that American troops should withdraw as soon as possible, though not before Iraqi forces are prepared to assume control of the country’s security.


Gee BnB .. isn't that exactly what Bush has been saying all along?

Why do you post a link to an article you don't even read?

Looks like all the "lefties, libs", etc. don't exist only on Ihub, some actually live Iraq and are directly effected by The Decider-Commander Guy's occupation of their country.

Apparently you don't get it since you only quoted what you wanted too.. You missed posting this little tidbit:
"The petition formalizes a widely held sentiment among many legislators — and among Iraqis in general — that American troops should withdraw as soon as possible, though not before Iraqi forces are prepared to assume control of the country’s security.

and this one too:

"But in another respect the petition brings the majority of Iraqi legislators into agreement with the Bush administration: both argue that an American withdrawal should depend on the readiness of Iraqi troops.

How sad your post is....
It should be obvious to anyone, except maybe those who want a due date for political reasons, that giving a date for withdrawal only aids the insurgents....
