    103 Iraqi Parliamentarians Demand Withdrawal of US Troops

    Gilber Achcar kindly shares his translation of an al-Hayat article:




    '[More than] 103 MPs Demand a Timetable for the Withdrawal of Foreign Troops

    Baghdad – Abdel-Wahed Tohmeh – Al-Hayat, July 4, 2005

    103 members of the National Assembly (the Parliament) have demanded the adoption of a resolution cancelling the request made by the Government to the UN Security Council to extend the presence of multinational forces, and urging the Government to put “a clear plan for army building and a timetable for the withdrawal of occupation troops” from Iraq.

    Falah Hassan Shneishel MP (of the “Independent National Bloc”) [the INB is the parliamentary bloc of Muqtada al-Sadr’s Current, which plays a prominent role in the organization of the political fight against the occupation] explained that the number of MPs demanding a timetable for the withdrawal of occupation troops has exceeded 103 after more than 20 additional MPs have adopted the statement issued two weeks ago in this regard.


    Shneishel threatened to call for popular demonstrations in case “the authorities were not serious about the implementation of the demands of the Iraqis for an end to occupation.”

    The Parlimentarians are not demanding the withdrawal of troops as the banner headline proclaims.
    They are asking for a timetable for for such a withdrawal.
    There is a difference you know!

    Why don't they leave
    The mission is not complete.

    What can I say to that? Maybe an experiment will work best. Don't be a wuss try it. First hold your right hand out in front of your face (palm facing toward you) then, moving from left to right, lower the first, second and fourth fingers you come across. Once you have completed the process, you will see the message that your post so richly deserves.

    103 out of 275. Looks like the nays have it. Stay until the mission is complete says the transnational assembly.
