Iraq wants US-led forces to remain until Iraqi force ready
Deutsche Presse Agentur
Published: Friday September 22, 2006
New York- Iraqi President Jalal Talabani on Friday said a timetable for the withdrawal of US-led forces from his country would only be discussed after Iraqi armed forces are capable of assuming security of the country. Talabani said the US-led multinational force of more than 150,000 troops from dozens of countries is in Iraq under "an international decision," in a speech before the UN General Assembly.
The UN Security Council authorized the force, as long as it remains sanctioned by the Iraqi government.
He said the Iraqi security forces were being improved to meet the daily challenges from insurgents and maintain stability and security.
"Only then will it be possible to talk about a timetable for the withdrawal of the multinational forces from Iraq," he said.
"We here renew our gratitude for these forces that took part in liberating our country from the worst dictatorship known in history," he said, referring to the 2003 US-led invasion to depose former dictator Saddam Hussein, who is standing trial in Baghdad with his former associates.

There would be massive bloodshed as the civil war would escalate beyond words. Anyone who could be considered a sympathizer to the "democratic" gov't would be wise to try and leave with the foreign troops. I think an Iall-out Iraqi civil war could easily develop into a regional conflict for control over Iraq. Possibly, foreign troops will be called to help defend Israel.

Iraq would go down the tubes in civil war and strife with the extremists and terrorists having a field day with the country and what government has formed.

Outright civil war. Collapse of the government, the army and probably everything inside the green zone. A quasi-seccession of the Kurd North.

Iraq's in its resoration period, and if all foreign troops left now, it would just utterly collapse.

It would be premature, I think. Establishing a democracy in Iraq is only one of the reasons we are there. Establishing ourselves as a "force to be reckoned with" internationally, against radical muslim terrorism, is, I think a very important reason to stay the course until the Iraqi people have their own democracy established.
With Iran flexing Her muscle, it is appropriate that we remain a visible force in that region.

The Shiites would kill all of the Sunnis and Iran would make a play for if not actual control then virtual control of the country.
