Members of Iraqi parliament demand troop withdraw

In another blow to the Bush administration plans, 82 elected members of the Iraqi parliament are calling for the withdraw of all foreign troops from Iraq.

This is just another call for a plan for the US to remove the troops and get them home. Fifty Democrats have formed the Out of Iraq Caucus in congress. A far more positive sign is some Republicans are noticing the truth. Walter 'Freedom Fires' Jones has co-introduced a resolution demanding that the Bush administration develop a plan to withdraw troops from Iraq.

Jones's district in North Carolina is the home to Camp Lejeune and may be seen to represent the distaste that the average military man or woman has developed for mission with no end. Jones is not the only Republican to note the need for a reassessment of policy. The rumbling from the right is getting quite noticeable.

Then we have Condi Rice, who is spinning a new lie, and trying to convince us that out presence in Iraq is a generational commitment.
