Suprise, suprise, suprise as Gomer Pile would say.  They (all of the Iraqis) really want us out of Iraq.  How many ways and how many languages do they have to say it in before we (our govt) gets it through their heads?  Probaly at least until we invade Iran.  Did I say that out loud?  You didnt think Iraq was the real target did you? 

"Today, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki suggested having a timetable for the withdrawal of coalition troops. “The direction we are taking is to have a memorandum of understanding either for the departure of the forces or to have a timetable for their withdrawal,” Maliki’s office quoted him as saying.

But the administration has rebuffed Maliki’s request for a timeline. Asked about the prime minister’s comments today, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman hedged on whether the administration would follow the Iraqi government’s request, criticizing timelines as “artificial“:a"
