Now Iraq wants unconditional US withdrawal of troops – will American oligarchs oblige?
It is not the Bush Administration but the American oligarchs who will determine the fate of Iraq invasion phase 5.0. Iraqis are very clear about it. They want their country back no matter who is the next President of United States.
It was American oligarchs that helped Bush win the elections again and again in a well orchestrated manner. Bush had to oblige them in lying to the world and invading a sovereign nation with a controversial leader Saddam Hussein. It was the American oligarchs who wanted to make money from Iraqi contracts in rebuilding Iraqi infrastructure.
Now Iraq wants unconditional US withdrawal of troops – will American oligarchs oblige?
The United States must provide a "very clear timeline" to withdraw its troops from Iraq as part of an agreement allowing them to stay beyond this year, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari said on Sunday.
It was the strongest public assertion yet that Iraq is demanding a timeline. U.S. President George W. Bush has long resisted setting a firm schedule for pulling troops out of Iraq, although last month the White House began speaking of a general "time horizon" and "aspirational goals" to withdraw.
Iraq as a nation has decided to solve its own problems. They do not need American parental care. Iraq is matured as an independent nation.
If American oligarchs decide to stay in Iraq like in Japan and Germany, the American forces might face severe uprising from common people in Iraq.
In an interview with Reuters, Zebari said the agreement, including the timeline, was "very close" and would probably be presented to the Iraqi parliament in early September.
Asked if Iraq would accept a document that did not include dates for a withdrawal, Zebari said: "No, no. Definitely there has to be a very clear timeline."
"The talks are still ongoing. There's been a great deal of progress. The deal is very close. It is about to be closed," Zebari said of the agreement, which will replace a U.N. Security Council resolution authorizing the U.S. presence, which expires at the end of this year.
