Um, yes, more or less.  Now, the Iraqis have the power to "kick us out" when we don't want to be kicked?  Somehow, that one is pretty hard to swallow.


No, I think we were more than happy to get out and show that the war in Iraq is finally at long last winding down.  Let's just hope it was more than show, and that the six months or less war is finally and at long last starting to wind down in reality.






So it was.  You're right. 


It was Cheney who was told by the Iraqis that they didn't want permanent bases.  They still got permanent bases, of course, but they told the VP no.


Maybe, since Cheney and his fellow Neocons are no longer in power, those bases will in fact turn out to be temporary.
