Majority of Iraqi Lawmakers Now Reject Occupation

On Tuesday, without note in the U.S. media, more than half of the members of Iraq's parliament rejected the continuing occupation of their country. 144 lawmakers signed onto a legislative petition calling on the United States to set a timetable for withdrawal, according to Nassar Al-Rubaie, a spokesman for the Al Sadr movement, the nationalist Shia group that sponsored the petition.

So why is it that NO democrats are calling the president to task on his words?

I am not sure but that is scary that so many people want us out but we refuse to go. If Iraqis want us to leave. Lets leave. the only wants that do not want us to leave are the people who could lose power if we leave. Us being there is the only reason they are staying in power.

So why is it that NO democrats are calling the president to task on his words?The resolution in question hasn't been voted on yet. Though it looks like it will pass, we still have to wait for the proper process to be followed.

The Iraqi govt does not want a pullout.

The Iraqi govt does not want a pullout. So 1 Kurdish politician lobbying the US government holds more weight then more than half the Iraqi parliment 144+.

Did you even bother to Read either article? Or did you just see a headline you liked and ran with it? The article you posted is very poorly written and looks like propaganda. Its says "offcials", plural in the headline, yet fails to mention how many or anyone other then 1 'official' in the entire story. It also came out immediatly after the one about the Iraqi parliment. As if it holds equal weight to counter such...your reading and analytical skills need improvement.

since he's working for the Iraqi Government, yes.

bylines show when a story is posted or updated, not when they're written.

I seen an article today were an Army commander states he needs more troops for a province in Northern Iraq

There are many groups of people in Iraq that want us to leave and many groups that do want us to leave. For the ones that want us out, the U.S. has to make sure these people want us out for good reasons. Not just so they can try to return to some form of what Iraq used to be.

You mean back to being ran by a ruthless dictator who was a buffer against Iranian expansionism in the region.
Wheres Saddam when you need him.

since he's working for the Iraqi Government, yes.The petition was signed by a majority of the Iraqi Parliament. Next they will pass it as a bill at which point it will become the position of the Iraqi government.bylines show when a story is posted or updated, not when they're written.The story was posted this morning. It contains several clues that can tell us when it was written. For example: Clinton said Friday she considered it "promising" that several Republican House members went to the White House and told President Bush they believe the continuing war is adversely affecting the party. Since today is Saturday I think we can safely conclude it was written sometime between yesterday morning and today.
