Reply #94: Precursor to leaving? Where did you get that from?

[K-W]

Find me the pentagon plans for significant withdrawl before 2006 please.

The election is an attempt to legitimize a permanant Iraqi government that will allow the US to retain control. It has nothing to do with us leaving.

And why do you insist on spinning my comments to mean that everything you believe is wrong? I certainly havent said that, its just that you are wrong about the election.

This election is no different than the turnover to the interim government, it is a superficial step in the creation of a psuedo independent, psuedo democratic Iraq whose trade laws we write and who allow our military to stay.
