BAGHDAD (AP) — Two Iraqi insurgent groups called on President-elect Barack Obama to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq and abandon the war on terror, an Internet monitoring service reported Friday.
Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, self-styled head of the al-Qaida front group the Islamic State of Iraq, said in a speech posted on an extremist Web site that it would be better "for you and us" to "withdraw your forces," according to the SITE Intelligence Group that monitors militant Web sites.
Al-Baghdadi blamed the global financial crisis on the wars "launched in Muslim countries" and said he was issuing the call on behalf of "my brothers in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, and Chechnya," SITE said.
The U.S. military says al-Baghdadi is an actor who provides a voice for al-Qaida in Iraq propaganda.
In a separate statement, the Mujahedeen Army, a Sunni insurgent group, urged Obama to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq or face "days that will be more difficult than the nightmare experienced by his predecessor."

Here we go.
Beat me to it!
LOL!
Beat me to it too!
He will talk it over.
He still has to wait until January to meet with them unconditionally.
Don’t they know that?
That one really made me laugh out loud. It’s so true and so damn painful that there’s nothing left but to laugh of move to Washington to procure an assisted suicide.
Excuse me, is this SOB president now? I forgot, I think he will install himself by Christmas, maybe by Thanksgiving.
Wow, all these guys are coming out the woodwork giving orders. They know he’s a weakling.
Yes we can!!!
The idiot masses who elected him think he is already president.
Ralmy, what should I do? Ralmy?
Why don’t these guys ever say “please”?
He’ll apologize and invite em all to Washington.
“Si se puede! Si se-” *BOOM* (silence)
It will be a few months before the guy actually gets to make decisions...that’s the theory anyway.
LOL
He’s so screwed. If he takes them out now, Iran will invade and it’ll be a mess. He knows that. But he promised the looney left he’d withdraw within 16 months and “stop wasting money there so we can spend it here.”
Exactly.
This is really a good thing. Domestically we can’t do a whole lot, but let the Middle East loons force the issues for us. Biden will be making overtime. We, OTOH, get to pull up a chair and munch on popcorn.
