So now we are going to get out of Iraq?

[Botany]

What have we accomplished?

More Terrorists, bin Laden free, Iran stronger, al Qaeda stronger, Taliban stronger,
3 trillion $s spent, 1 million + dead, 60,000 Americans wounded, hurt, taken ill,
and mental disorders, 4 to 6 million Iraqis out of their homes, Turkey invading
northern Iraq, and our military is broken.

McCain will sell the surge .... we have to sell the truth.

U.S. and Iraqi negotiators are reported to have agreed on the complete withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq by 2011 - if conditions are right.

The officials are quoted Friday as saying the draft agreement also calls for U.S. forces to pull back from Iraqi cities by June 2009.

Iraq's chief negotiator, Mohammed al-Haj Hamoud, says although negotiators on both sides agreed to the timetable, the pace of the U.S. troop pullout can be changed depending on conditions in Iraq.

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, in Baghdad for a brief visit Thursday, said both sides had been close to a security deal that will determine the future status of U.S. forces in Iraq. But she said it contained what she described as an "aspirational" timetable - as opposed to any firm dates - for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq.
