Iraq Troop Withdrawal: Immunity Issue Scuttled Deal, Says Iraq PM
Excellent! With the help of the Iraqi government's backbone in standing its sovereign ground, the U.S. president is able to keep his "promise" to end the war in Iraq. It is way overdue. Had the 2008 agreement been continued, all the families in America would not be welcoming their loved ones home by December 31, 2011. Further, just as some of us can still remember, the Iraqis and the Muslim/Arab world remember ABU GHRAIB (among other memories); see Abu Ghraib photos at www.antiwar.com/news/?articleid=2444. That is Iraqi incentive, among others, not to yield to the U.S. demand to keep troops there under the umbrella of "immunity."
For those who blame the president for his decision (especially those in the government, military, and ex-military), be honest, which is always good. We need to accept that Iraqis really want us out of their house, and the majority of US wants to cease US residency or occupation(?) in Iraq. The Bible warns that we (visitors, neighbors, etc.) should never overstay our welcome in another person's home.
Instead of railing against the president for doing what he had to do, go tell the Iraqi government it does not know what it is doing, and demand that it changes its mind. See how far you get with that demand.
