The removal of our troops will be responsible and phased. Obama has said that from day one.

You are aware that American forces are currently in Iraq under a UN authority which expires at year end?

The US and Iraq are currently negotiating a security agreement that will determine how long US forces will stay. It appears
the Iraqi cabinet and parliament are not worried about being, as you put it, "thrown under a bus" - they want us out in two years, a timetable Bush has pretty much agreed on.

The Iraqis have made several key demands, including granting Iraq more legal authority over U.S. troops accused of crimes; hardening a tentative 2011 departure date for American troops; and allowing Iraqi inspection of U.S. military shipments. After a controversial raid by U.S. forces into Syrian territory last weekend, the Iraqis also want an explicit ban on the United States staging attacks from Iraq into neighboring countries.
