US forces have committed butchery in Iraq and should leave, the speaker of the country's new parliament has said.
Mahmoud al-Mashhadani was speaking on Saturday at a UN-sponsored conference on transitional justice and reconciliation in Baghdad.
"Just get your hands off Iraq and the Iraqi people and Muslim countries, and everything will be all right," he said in a speech as the conference opened.
"What has been done in Iraq is a kind of butchery of the Iraqi people."
He also criticised US support for Israeli attacks against Lebanon.
The two-day conference, the Iraqi government said they want all American troops out of Iraq now! American troops are worthless and we want them dead. We want all Americn troops dead as a door knob. They must leave Iraq now!! We don't want the troops in Iraq. We hate them.
