BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: Iraqi lawmakers of different parliamentary blocs called on the newly elected U.S. President Barack Obama to withdraw his country’s forces, to achieve Iraq’s “sovereignty and independence.”
Ali al-Adeeb, legislature from the Unified Iraqi Alliance (UIA), told Aswat al-Iraq “Obama promised his constituents to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq, and we hope that this issue will become a part of his agenda and the withdrawal will take place at the suitable time.”
“What Iraq currently cares about is a full U.S. pull out of Iraq as soon as possible, considering circumstances on the ground, and not leave a security or military vacuum in Iraq,” he said.
Fawzai Akram, parliamentarian for the Sadr bloc, told Aswat al-Iraq “We demand Obama to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq, to achieve sovereignty and independence for Iraqis.”
“I hope that major changes would occur in the U.S. policy, especially after the promises made by Obama, stressing his attempts to impose peace worldwide,” he said.
For his part, lawmaker Hashim al-Taee of the Iraqi Accord Front (IAF) told Aswat al-Iraq “the Iraqi-U.S. security pact is moving ahead.”
“The pact will be signed soon, and will not be affected by the new president,” he said.
But legislature Mohammed al-Mehmedawi of al-Fadila bloc said “Obama advised Iraqi politicians not to sign the pact.”
“He did so because he believed that if the pact would not be signed, it would be a landmark for republicans’ policy failure in Iraq,” he noted.

Traitor. Once we win the Congress in 2010 he ought to be impeached.
The agreement should contain “We will never go back in. No matter what happens.” If we pull out early, the whole thing could fall apart.
How do you think Obama was going to fund his social programs? Cut and run from Iraq AND Afghanistan and strip the military to the size of the Swiss Army.
I will be surprised if this gains any traction on the media but it will be interesting to watch.
When it does happen, BHO’s fall from grace will be fast and hard
Traitor, yes. Charged with impeachment of office? How can you be charged with impeachment when you have not yet taken the oath of office?
Correct me. How can a President be removed from office for crimes he did before taking the oath?
Ali al-Adeeb, legislature from the Unified Iraqi Alliance (UIA), told Aswat al-Iraq “Obama promised his constituents to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq, and we hope that this issue will become a part of his agenda and the withdrawal will take place at the suitable time.”

At first read it I find a stark difference in the comments of al-Adeeb and Akram (Sadr bloc).
Key words in al-Adeeb are, “...at a SUITABLE TIME”, and “considering CIRCUMSTANCES ON THE GROUND, and NOT leave a SECURITY OR MILITARY VACUUM in Iraq,”” His words mirror what the President and Commanders have been saying.
Now Akram’s statement, Sadr’s people, only say we need to leave, period, no matter what is going on over there.
That is a huge difference, in my opinion.
I ask again, is this not a violation of the Logan Act?!
Who would touch the Dear Leader with it?
“How do you think Obama was going to fund his social programs? Cut and run from Iraq AND Afghanistan and strip the military to the size of the Swiss Army.”
He will eliminate our Military and give our security chores to the Canadian army.
Like I said in another post - this is considered HIGH TREASON - if he can’t be impeached he can certainly be indicted or arrested can’t he?
He’ll be ‘the one’ to sign agreements for the next 8 years. Israel should be very concerned about that.
He’s taking a play from the Reagan book....delay releasing the hostages till after the election
delay the troop withdraws till after the election
see?
Violation of the Logan Act. That was easy.
This is amazing that the Iraqis are openly admitting he violated the Logan act. That would have sunk any other republican candidacy. There are some lawyers sitting around starving with no future, so they should file suit against this treasonous socialist.
Liberals have made their beds and now comes the relief for us conservatives who lost, hurting while our country lost to the hordes of Obamalobotomized loons.
First, the hypocrats will have NO ONE to point a finger at over the next 2 years. Pelosi may TRY to blame conservatives/Republicans but it becomes near impossible to pull off with such majorities. PARTICULARLY if they get a supe majority and aren’t touchable with a filibuster. IF things aren’t turning around for the better, people will only buy that it takes time to dole out the pie and blame Bush and “you’ll just have to keep voting us in to get things turned around”.
Uh-uh...they’ve been extremely impatient literally counting down the days to the end of W’s term. No Mam, you idiots promised the first 100 days would be drastically better and even their own morons know this wasn’t the case, not at ALL!And all that hope and change from the zero never mentioned the first thing about having to wait for a year or a whole 4 year term to achieve all this utopia, NO WAY! Their constituents need to be reminded of this DAILY!
Conservatives need to consistently hammer the fact that hypocrats have had control of congress for two years and the more majority they have the worse things seem to get: gas prices over $4 earlier, and now a financial meltdown on THEIR watch.
Second the rabid unhinged left simply HAS to feed off their rage to stay miserable, Cindy Sheehan for instance. Susan Sarandon, Cynthia McKooky, Sean Penn, Al Franken, Rosie O’Dung, the whole lot of ‘em...so where will they spew their venom?
Thrd the drive-bys have the same issues...they’re set up for full attack mode...but Bush and Republicans are nowhere to be found suddenly, and their entire reason for being seems to be to root out scandal, and/or fulfill their self-important egos and will have to be done one way or another!
I think we might think about taking some stock out in popcorn and while we’re stocking up on guns, ammo, rice, beans...don’t forget, as T.O. said:
GET YOUR POPCORN READY!
