Getting Iraqis to take charge of their own affairs, whether by fighting insurgents or taking over government ministries, has been the goal of American leaders here since the fall of Saddam Hussein. After 22 months of trying to persuade the Iraqis to stand on their own, while doing everything for them, the Americans may be finding that Iraqis, now fully sovereign, don't want them to go home so soon after all.

Gawd it must really stick in the craw of the NYT editors to have to publish this column....

"Getting Iraqis to take charge of their own affairs"
"After 22 months of trying to persuade the Iraqis to stand on their own"

OK I'm going to explain this one more time. IT WAS ALL ABOUT
1991!!!!!
The Iraqi's did not trust us to stay there until they could take care of themselves. Fostered by the screams from the likes of the KKK's, that's Kennedy, Kerry, Kucinich, they thought we would cut & run if they rose up to help us. Than 100's of thousands would be slaughtered again, just like 1991! This is from the mouths of my friends family that lives in Mosul. It was said in May 2003.
They never looked at America as anything but their liberator's. UNTIL the LSM, KKK's & the peace monkeys started screaming we needed to leave.
The Lame Stream Media & the MINORITY party's incessant questioning of the President & insisting that he admit policy mistakes was offensive to me.
The only mistake the Bush Administration made in this war was not SILENCING the aforementioned morons.
