Iraqi Wants Troop Withdrawal Deadline

...But Bush Doesn’t

August 11. 2008

Bush: how dare they ask us to leave after we haven't gotten all their oil!

The Iraqi government is demanding a "very clear" timeline as to when U.S. troops will withdraw from Iraq. Bush, on the other hand, is pushing the contradictory story that the Iraqis want the war to continue, which is clearly not the case.

Iraq demands "very clear" U.S. troop timeline

Sun Aug 10, 2008 11:41am EDT - 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.
