From the NYT areticle, one thread down...

“Although the vote was 170-0 in Parliament, many of its 328 members, primarily Kurds and Sunnis, did not attend the session and did not vote, showing the division in Parliament on the demands to oust American troops. While groups that grew out of Shiite militia organizations have pushed hard for the expulsion, Sunni Muslim factions and the Kurds wanted the United States to stay. “

Justice for the war criminal George Bush.

That's OK with me. After years of defending him only to have him stab us in the back, the lefties can have him.

Okay, bring the troops home, and all the aid money and equipment too... We can only dream.
... and munch popcorn while we watch them kill each other.

Sure about that Kurd part?

Regardless, if they want us to stay then they should have voted and made their voices heard.

If we actually started packing up they would beg us to stay bank it.

Let's do it and see.

I don’t know what it is about mid east authorities. They love to keep their citizens afraid of them. When the citizens revolt, they don’t think twice about machine gunning them down. Now their parliment, (I guess with little authority) is telling All Foreigners to leave. What will happen if the foreigners don’t leave? Will their leaders take parliment’s advice and force the evacuation of all foreigners.

Iraq became a province of Iran because of Obama.

It was ever thus.

Good, and we pull all funding, training, etc of their military.

That should include taking back or destroying in place the 140 M1A1 Abrams and 400 Strykers they “bought”.

Destroy the 24 F-16’s and cancel the orders for the other aircraft they have on order.

It’s time for Turtle McConnell to weigh in: This is shameful Iraqi’s want to throw us out of a place where we don’t want to be in the first place.

I suppose Bibbi and the only democratic government in the region would not share the sentiment, so that will need to be considered, but leaving Iraq is not leaving the entire ME.
