Leaving Iraq?

Question

Okay, I'm seeing one of the worst Liberal Spins I've seen in some time on Y!A tonight. So, to combat this, I make this challenge.

Show me where the Iraqi PM has TOLD US TO LEAVE and I will leave this forum and never come back.

Here are the stipulations.
1. The source must be a scholarly and credible source. No Blogs or Myspace or Wikipedia allowed. (I suppose for the sake of being fair MSNBC, ABC and CNN can be used)

2. It must clearly show that the CURRENT Iraqi PM has said without a doubt "Get out of Iraq Now" (or something of the like).

Can you prove this?

I wait patiently.

Answer 1

12. MYTH: Iraq’s Parliament passed a resolution calling for U.S. forces to leave.

* FACT: The opposite is true. The U.S. is in Iraq at the invitation of the Iraqi government, and Council of Representatives (COR) recently voted for Americans to continue their work in Iraq.
* FACT: There was never a vote on the widely reported Sadrist “petition” calling for withdrawal. That petition was clearly not a reflection of the views of Parliament, as some who supposedly signed it later said they were deceived about what it meant and actually want the U.S. to stay in Iraq until Iraq’s security forces are better trained.

13. MYTH: The U.S. is in Iraq only because of Congress’s 2002 resolution authorizing the invasion to topple Saddam Hussein’s regime.

* FACT: The U.S. is currently in Iraq at the invitation of a sovereign government and the unanimous approval of the United Nations Security Council
* FACT: UN Security Council Resolution 1723 extended the mandate of multi-national forces until December 2007. That resolution came at the request of Prime Minister Maliki.
* FACT: The 2002 Congressional war authorization referred to the use of force in enforcing U.N. Security Council resolutions. It clearly envisioned subsequent U.N. Security Council resolutions, and Senators understood that a President has the authority to enforce such resolutions.

Answer 2

America can't - and won't - leave Iraq until Dick Cheney has a rock-solid, iron-clad arrangement in place to acquire all of that OIL swimming underneath Iraq's sands. With the help of the new government (which he helped install), Cheney and his best friends at Exxon-Mobil will get richer and richer and richer, regardless of how many people die in the process. If Bush believes we'll be out of Iraq by 2009, why is America building the largest embassy in the world on a 104-acre site in downtown Baghdad, overlooking the modest headquarters of the new Iraqi government?Don't kid yourself - we'll be there for decades, or until every drop of OIL is sucked out of that land. PREDICTION: Before spring, 2007, we'll also invade Iran for the very same reason: all those rich fields of easily-accessible OIL. The insurgents will turn this into a Civil War before the end of this year. They know we're only there to steal all their OIL. The only people that don't know the real truth is the American citizens who have been brainwashed by Shawn Hannity, Ann Colture, Bill O'Reilly, and Rush Limbaugh, the Republican Party's own Nazi-inspired propagandists. -RKO-

I guess you are staying here to annoy and frustrate liberals with your "propaganda."

No credible sources. Huffington Post as credible, HAH. What a joke. She is so far left, she almost swings back around and hits the conservatives in the back.

Maliki stated he could take over if we left. That is a fair statement. This does not mean we should leave.

The problem with liberals and quitters is they do not understand the discipline and character needed to finish the job. They do not understand what is at stake. They look at this emotionally, which the terrorists know this.

Answer 4

He didn't say "get out, leave Iraq, we can handle this without USA", now, did he? Libs will read whatever they want into any statement, whether it's true or not. My brother is a Lib, and does it to me all the time. I guess that is why we cannot have one discussion on politics, and live to tell about it the next day.

BELOW: I emphasize the words "when they want".

Answer 5

What a load of hooey. The Iraqi Prime Minister depends on us to maintain his government until he is well established.

Answer 6

Dang, looks like you're going to be waiting a long time to see a legit answer on this one!

Answer 7

You better start packing your bags or is the public education system that bad that you cannot understand the nuances within this statement...

I quote.....The prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, says his country's army and police are capable of keeping security and that American troops can leave "any time they want."

I further quote...... He sharply criticized the U.S. military, saying it was committing human rights violations and embarrassing the Iraqi government through such tactics as building a wall around Baghdad's Sunni neighborhood of Azamiyah and launching repeated raids on suspected Shiite militiamen in the capital's slum of Sadr City.

He also criticized U.S. overtures to Sunni groups in Anbar and Diyala provinces, encouraging former insurgents to join the fight against al-Qaida in Iraq. "These are gangs of killers," he said.

In addition, he said that al-Maliki has problems with the top U.S. commander, Gen. David Petraeus, who he said works along a "purely American vision."

"There are disagreements that the strategy that Petraeus is following might succeed in confronting al-Qaida in the early period but it will leave Iraq an armed nation, an armed society and militias," al-Suneid said.


UNFORTUNATELY PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF JUST ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THE DAMAGE THE BUSH WAR IS DOING TO THE REST OF THE WORLD.

Answer 8

Huffington Post -under home.........................................

-American troops can leave anytime they want.

-he further states Iraqi troops are capable of filling the void left by their departure and stipulates that the U.S. has used his country "like an experiment in a lab".

Answer 9

I certainly never said he requested the US. troops to leave, but he did say that they are no longer needed, and can leave when they want, and the US. voters want them to leave

Answer 10

Why do you insist on sending US troops to their deaths now that even Bush's puppet Iraqi PM says that they are not needed there?

Why do you Republican Propagandists try to spin this while American kids continue to die and be maimed in Bush's war?
