          I could go on, but a best case scenario for American Iraq is becoming a South Korea.
          This is perfect example of propagandist crap.

          South Korea is not pulling out Joncha, I hear that party too says it will stay with its committments.
          For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

            Actually it was all very much backed by the United Nations and the US approved the United Nations plan.

              Nope.

              South Korea:



              GDP:
              purchasing power parity - $941.5 billion (2002 est.)
              GDP - real growth rate: 6.3% (2002 est.)
              GDP - per capita: purchasing power parity - $19,600 (2002 est.)

              Slovenia:



              GDP: purchasing power parity - $37.06 billion (2002 est.)
              GDP - real growth rate: 3.2% (2002 est.)
              GDP - per capita: purchasing power parity - $19,200 (2002 est

              Either way, neither country is poor at all. Not even close.

                Ok, but look, the new Spanish PM promised to get his country's troops out of Iraq in short order shortly arter winning the election. How long did it take for his troops to become the subject of fresh attacks? They didn't give the Spaniards much time to carry out their withdrawal did they? I don't think that the Iraqi "insurgency" is capable of negotiating in good faith, so what's the point of responding to any of their demands?

                  No he didn't. He said he would maintain troops there until June 30th. I'm saying Spanish troops should stay there and kill as many insurgents as possible (of the few that remain).

                        CIA Factbook is better and more accurate.

                          Perhaps. Perhaps not.
                          My point is: I'm not using the CIA World Factbook

                              Spain's decision to pull out of Iraq has nothing to do with any so-called "truces." The people opposed going into Iraq in the first place and the Socialists promised to pull them out if elected. Al Qaeda and others are just trying to use this to their own advantage--like some bad OT troll--and the chickenhawks keep biting.

                                The only people I care about is the Iraqi people and pulling out now is not wise.
