The Iraq Vice President would like George Bush to give him a timeline for the withdrawal of American troops. Now what is our excuse?

Iraq's vice president has asked President Bush for a timeline for the withdrawal of foreign forces from Iraq, the Iraqi president's office said.

Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi, a Sunni, made the request during his meeting with Bush on Tuesday, when the U.S. president made a surprise visit to Iraq.

"I supported him in this," President Jalal Talabani said in a statement released Wednesday. Al-Hashimi's representatives could not immediately be reached for comment Thursday.

Bush made it clear during his visit that the U.S. military presence - now at about 132,000 troops - would continue, though he stressed the fate of the Iraqis was in their own hands.

So if the fate of Iraq is in Iraq hands then why won't we let go of it?

This is just more of Bush's bullshit! He has no intentions of ever bringing our troops home and that point needs to be made by Democrats over, and over again!

We are building permanent bases over there! Does anybody really need any more evidence then that?
