While calling it "conclusive proof" of a plan to withdraw troops from Iraq right away, The Mail on Sunday fails to provide any actual text from the document, nor any inkling of where they got it. We'll see what happens, but for now my bullshit meter is pegged.

The story reads like shallow editorial propoganda. Link to actual article:

Oh good. This should please the Lefties to no end. Lets just walk away and leave Iraq to fight it out between the Sunnis and Shiites. Yaaay.... No more War for Oil.

And don't forget the great results for democracy that the democratic election provided for the US

The UIA, which took majority, includes the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) and the Dawa Party, both of which are sectarian Shiite parties that seek to establish some form of Islamic state.

A good question at this point is if Bush accepts a vote which provides a democratic result, but not the guy he "planned" to have at the top.

Carpe Diem

It's whats going to happen when the US leaves anyway - lets get serious - you really think the US forces can prevent a "civil" war once out? Or is your solution to stay at all costs?

Even at this point, you still will not reconize the huge part Iraqi oil reserves are playing in US stratigy?
