They’re asking us out?

In light of the recent disaster at a Shi’ite mosque in Baghdad, Iraq’s ruling parties are asking us to “cede control of security”. In other words, “can you guys please remove your 130,000 troops? You’ve made a total mess.”

Meanwhile, Condoleezza Rice is asking Iraqis to “assume greater control of their country’s security.”

They want it. We want it. What’s the holdup? Could it be that we spent all that money and time and sacrificed all those lives to create an Iraqi government that didn’t quite turn out the way we wanted? Are the wrong Iraqis in the majority? Are the wrong Iraqi leaders in power? This isn’t our fight now. The Iraqi government is forming. Let it form without us.
