16 months i bet. (g) It makes all the sense in the world for the iraqis to determine the future of their country and of our stay. I wish the South Vietnamese had given us that option so many years ago. The war against al quaeda is not in iraq or in afganistan for that matter---its in pakistan and mostly in a particular part of pakistan South Wahiristan. Thats where we need to focus so maliki might be giving us a gift here.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki raised the prospect on Monday of setting a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops as part of negotiations over a new security agreement with Washington. It was the first time the U.S.-backed Shi'ite-led government has floated the idea of a timetable for the removal of American forces from Iraq. The Bush administration has always opposed such a move, saying it would give militant groups an advantage. Maliki must be feeling stronger since the fight with Sadr went his way and the Iraqi army seems to be functioning a bit better.
