Iraqis have to push the United States out?
I am really wondering about this.

It seems like Bush and most of our media and government frankly -- pardon the language -- don't give a damn what the Iraqis think, and the most credible polls show that large majorities are calling for an immediate withdrawal of American soldiers and interests. These large majorities are ignored. It seems like our entire debate about Iraq is all about what Hilary or Frist say, which is only based on what they need to say for the November 2006 elections and so on and so forth.

So do Iraqis just have to get violent enough to reclaim their country's own sovereignty -- which is a vicious cycle, in that it will be used to justify a longer occupation.

1. It will be interesting to see what happens with the leader of Iraq...
apparantly he approved the strike...

the * cabal did not want to take him out...it helps their cause...just as I suspect as long as they are in office they will not take out Bin Laden...

2. When they get violent,
they are just called insurgents.
