Iraqis want Military to Stay

Wait a second, I thought that the Iraqis wanted us to leave….at least that’s what a lot of people on the left have been saying.  Then I saw these stories.

Say what you want about Bush and the reasons for going to war, but leaving Iraq before the Iraqi government is ready to handle it’s own security will certainly mean the death for a lot of innocent people.  And for whatever reason, people are ok with that…..

I also saw this article.  In it, Bush indicates that he might finally be willing to compromise by setting bench marks for the U.S. military and the Iraqi government.  My first thought was “why is that a compromise, shouldn’t we have been doing that already?”  Hopefully Bush starts taking the war seriously and stops taking what little support is left for granted.  I can’t believe it’s taken him this long to start seriously talking about benchmarks.
