If "speedy withdrawal" still means 'get out whenever you feel the time is right, and hopefully that'll be quick' then whatever..

Which is the case. Reuters is sensationalizing again.

Imgaine that. ;-)

Well, here is a bit more flesh to the bone:

PM DEMANDS QUICK PULLOUT

Iraq's transitional prime minister has called for the speedy withdrawal of US troops, it has been reported.

Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari told a joint news conference with US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld that the time has arrived to plan a coordinated transition from American to Iraqi military control throughout the country.


General George Casey, the top American commander in Iraq, he believed a US troop withdrawal could begin by spring 2006 if progress continues on the political front and if the insurgency does not expand.

Mr Rumsfeld however, when asked how soon a US withdrawal should happen, said no exact timetable had been set.

Mr Al-Jaafari said US training of Iraqi security forces must be speeded up.
