CAIRO, Egypt — Leaders of Iraq's sharply divided Shiites, Kurds and Sunnis called Monday for a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S.-led forces in the country and said Iraq's opposition had a "legitimate right" of resistance.

The final communique, hammered out at the end of three days of negotiations at a preparatory reconciliation conference under the auspices of the Arab League, condemned terrorism, but was a clear acknowledgment of the Sunni position that insurgents should not be labeled as terrorists if their operations do not target innocent civilians or institutions designed to provide for the welfare of Iraqi citizens.

Okay, fine, but that would mean making some changes to US immigration policy. (Fine with me-BTW)I got the same impression with the sudden Jordanian change of heart over their opinion on the Wedding bombing. 'Kill all the kuffars you want' but leave us the hell alone. They don't realize that isolation is a real option for us if we have the will. No one seems to display the political will to do this.While for them they will accept this monster as long as it doesn't target them at that time. Funny but you really have to make moral decisions about which behavior you will accept and enforce those decision wherever you are. This is reason this part of (most of) the world is such a freaking basket case.

Dang, got 'er fired up, dincha.

Those emotions are a tricky thing, aren't they?

Are you two are ready to go to the corner, kiss and make up? Please, tell me yes. I am laughing too hard....

[RobbyS]

Our casualties have been up because we have been on the offensive for some time. If the terrorists are not free to hit "soft targets," then their ineffectually will be left exposed.

[Libertina]

Agreed. They want a schedule? fine, do THEIR areas first!

Frankly I don't give a squat about Iraq. I am only concerned with the troops on the ground there. Their lives are what matters to me. In my own opinion, Iraq is not worth one of their lives. But, I support the men and women in uniform, no ifs, ands or buts about it. Iraq, I could give a care less about.

[rintense]

Direct result of the leftists here demanding the same thing.

[Wiseghy]

The military plan is to draw down to 92k by the end of '06. The pull out is already underway. What we are seeing the mad scramble to take credit for the "victory", but here and in Iraq.

I ain't kissin' no isolationist, freema. No way!

Pat Buchanan isn't my type. I prefer my men a little more.......how shall we say it?? Manly?? ;)

[jmpmstr4u2]

Appearently, they don't understand. It is NOT their country. It is our country until we give it back to them. I am in Baghdad right now, and I can tell you that the majority of the people here, DO NOT want us to leave anytime soon. This is a very Ultra wing of the listed parties, and not the newly democratic supporting public. The sooner we pull out, the more wealthy these corrupt figureheads become. As of now, we are keeping the corruption at a minimum, and they cannot do what they want to do.

[freema]

Well, will you kiss this one?

[George W. Bush]

ohioWfan: Welcome to FR, Neville! :)

You won't be laughing the next time I give Czechoslovakia to some bloodthirsty regime. Oh, wait, I forgot the Clinton-Bush-McCain Bosnia deal... Never mind.

freema: Are you two are ready to go to the corner, kiss and make up? Please, tell me yes. I am laughing too hard....

Not just yet...

ohioWfan: I prefer my men a little more.......how shall we say it?? Manly?? ;)

And I prefer my women a little less.......how shall we say it?? Manly?? ;)

[ohioWfan]

LOL! I'll stick with kissing the one I'm married to, thanks.

And my brave boys.........on the cheek. ;)

[oceanview]

exactly right.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

I believe the US armed forces qualify as an institution "designed to provide for the welfare of Iraqi citizens." Thus, those who attack them--by Iraqi definition--are rightly regarded as terrorists.

[ohioWfan]

Oooo........you're a funny one, G.

You should meet Mr. Oh and duke it out with him about that.

(He'd win. He's a real man......and I.........am a real woman. Ever meet one before?).

And on that note, I shall ignore anything further that you say, as you have now sunk to new lows in slimy rhetoric, G. You'll regret it if you go any deeper into this pit, so I'll be careful not to lead you further into your sinful ways by responding in like kind.....

[ohioWfan]

btw..............SUPPORT OUR TROOPS.....COMPLETE the MISSION

[jmpmstr4u2]

I am not sure what I got in the middle of, but I am LMAO. Just a victim of circumstance I assume...lol

[ohioWfan]

Having a bit of fun here, jmpmstr.

But don't tell George. He doesn't know it, and we're keeping it a secret. ;)

[freema]

Either right place, wrong time,
or right time, wrong place.

LOL!
