AMERICABLOG: As US House prepares to vote on Iraq, Iraq's parliament tells us to get the hell out
As US House prepares to vote on Iraq, Iraq's parliament tells us to get the hell out
by John Aravosis

I can't wait to see who in the US House today votes to send our troops to die for a country that doesn't even want us there. From the Associated Press:

A majority of Iraqi lawmakers have endorsed a bill calling for a timetable for the withdrawal of foreign troops and demanding a freeze on the number of foreign troops already in the country, lawmakers said Thursday.


That's the message to give congress when you call them today. Why the hell are we sending another $100 billion dollars, and wasting even more American lives, for people who have just told us to get the hell out, and then are going on two month's vacation?

3. Yep, they are telling us to leave and we're sending in 35,000
more troops to continue the "surge" into next year. I'm sure it'll all work out well.:eyes:
Democracy in action.
