They've Given The Word. Will We Keep Ours?

We said we'd leave if/when they asked us to. Now it seems as though the factions in Iraq finally agree about something. They want us out! The question is: will we leave without a fight ?

"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.

The participants in Cairo agreed on "calling for the withdrawal of foreign troops according to a timetable, through putting in place an immediate national program to rebuild the armed forces ... control the borders and the security situation" and end terror attacks."

Also, it is a little bit telling that they are not calling the insurgents terrorists and acknowledge their "legitimate right" of resistance. Does that mean they will kill more of our soldiers to make us leave?
