Some people will have a ball with this

[henryclay]

It's a toss-up as to which side will get the most satisfaction from this. Some want the US out of Iraq and others want Iraq to help pay the bills. Obama doesn't seem to know how to accomplish either. So let's look at what happens when some Monday morning quarterbacks try to upstage the whole thing.

The request may seem to make sense..however not friom a group of congress people, not at this time,
------------------------------------------------------------

"Because of Iran's influence, al-Maliki is under considerable pressure from the Islamic regime to decide against requesting an extension of U.S. troops in Iraq beyond the Dec. 31 deadline when they are due to leave."
------------------------------------------------------------------

especially since we do not want to leave completly at this time. The Iranians want us out desperatly, and anything the Iranians want we should want the opposite, IMHO, and even Malicki might not want us to leave but is searching as I type to find a way to ask us to stay a while, with out angering al Sader and his people, [militant cleric allied to Iran, very anti American] and Iran and keep himself from being killed, he know this is a option of real happening, if he P off certain groups off enough, alsader and Iran itself just for starters.

The other reality is there are mny Iraquis who want to bill US for the destruction we caused to the tune of billions..and their personal feeling toward us, not as saviors because of Heseins over throw and the removal of the Bathest, they lost hundreds of thousands of their peopl, so many innocents, not military, in the wars and the subsequent inner battles plus it is said a million children with our blockade of food and medical supplies before hussein was over thrown.

I know Hussein used those oil dollers that were supposed to go for food stuffs and medicals for his own uses, but the average Iraquis don't know that, or don't want to hear it if they do.

They are the ones who watched their kids die and blame us..right or wrong..so with all that , this group of politicals from here, they haven't a clue, really disappointing and that was not why they were there in the first place.

Obama, State department, their own colleges, really can't blast them either, might need their votes, more so have to kiss their butts..better we should kick their butts to kingdom come IMHO.
