So what is Bush’s definition of “democracy in the Middle East”? Would it
involve listening to the leaders of the country we now occupy?
Nov. 21 (Bloomberg) — Iraqi leaders, meeting at a reconciliation
conference in Cairo, urged an end to violence in the country and demanded a
timetable for the withdrawal of coalition troops from Iraq.In a final statement, read by Arab League chief Amre Moussa, host of the
three-day summit, they called for “the withdrawal of foreign troops
according to a timetable, through putting in place an immediate national
program to rebuild the armed forces.” No date was specified.“The Iraqi people look forward to the day when the foreign forces leave
Iraq, when it’s armed and security forces will be rebuilt and when they can
enjoy peace and stability and get rid of terrorism,” the leaders said in
the statement. The session was broadcast live from the Egyptian capital by
al-Jazeera.The summit was held to prepare for a larger conference scheduled to take
place in Baghdad in February. The Arab League is playing an increasing role
in attempting to bring Iraq’s Kurdish, Shiite, and Sunni groups closer
together.

Well George, members of Congress want a timetable, the American people want a
timetable, and now, the Iraqi people want a timetable. When are you going to
uphold democracy and listen to the desires of everyone you answer too? This was
decided upon by the government we worked to set up in Iraq.
You must listen to them now unless you want to become an occupying force. If
that happens then more people will believe in the preaching’s of Osama and turn
against us. That will add more truth to Rep. Murtha’s speech about out soldiers
being the targets.
Now George, you have a perfect excuse to set a timetable – the Iraqi people
want it. You have no option but to listen to them unless you want to really be
hated around the world.
