Armitage: U.S. May Be Asked To Leave Iraq

@ 08:09 PM (41 months, 5 days ago)

In an interview with The Australian, former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage predicts that the Iraqi government may soon ask the United States to leave Iraq.

From The Australian:

"The British used to make a big deal of walking around in their berets in the south," he said. "Now they won't even go to the latrines without their helmets. The south has got much rougher, it's mainly Shia on Shia violence."

Mr Armitage said much of the violence came from differences over how the Islamic religion should be interpreted.

And he said he believed the Iraqis would soon ask the US to leave their country.

Well of course they are going to be asked to leave.  Because in Iraq, our troops have become the target.  We, the professed "liberators," have become the target of those we claimed to have wanted to liberate.

And as I mentioned on here recently, the Iraqi Vice President has asked George Bush to provide a timetable for withdrawal.  (http://progressiveminds.bloghi.com/2006/06/15/iraqi-vice-president-to-bush-give-us-a-timeline-for-withdrawal.html)
