Iraq wants a timetable for US troop withdrawal

Am quite sure that in his private moments, Herr Bush is spitting bullets, more than he's spent killing Iraqi's on the ground. His hand picked Nuri Al Maleki doesn't want to extend Herr Bush's troops presence indefinitely, and has called for a timetable for America's military withdrawal from Iraq, before he will sign any greatly modified agreement allowing US bases in Iraq with minimal man and firepower. Well how does this square with tub boat admiral McCain? What Al Maliki has done by digging in his heels, is to bolster senator Obama in the race for the White House. He's making it easier for Obama to wind down US troop presence in the failed and dumb war that Herr Bush lied the US into. So much for fair weather friends, Herr Bush, you've succeeded in allowing Iran a better role in Iraq than it ever would have, and what's more your brutal war has sent erstwhile allies into the arms of everyone in Iraq who is saying basta, ya!, enough's enough, pick up your cluster bombs and vanish into the desert's horizon and let's deal with our own affairs and our neighours. Bye bye birdie Bush!
