no one wants us there any more

Insurgents offer to halt attacks in Iraq
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Eleven Sunni insurgent groups have offered an immediate halt to all attacks — including those on American troops — if the United States agrees to withdraw foreign forces from Iraq in two years, insurgent and government officials told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Not that I'm saying that insurgent groups are necessarily trustworthy, but it sure sounds like things would calm down considerably if we were gone.
But, of course, bush wants to leave that decision until he is out of office. I guess that way if anything (else? more?) goes wrong, then he won't be blamed for that, along with everything else.
But what's to keep us from going back if we needed to after withdrawing?! Its not like we asked anyone's permission before destroying their country in the first place!
Of course, when has logic ever entered into this war?
