Iraqis rally, demand swift U.S. pullout
Hey, not until we plant some WMD and control your oilfields, bub!
Thousands of Iraqis marched in downtown Baghdad today to demand a rapid U.S. troop withdrawal, and a prominent opposition leader said he expects Americans to relinquish most government functions within weeks.
"No to America, no to Saddam," they shouted, and called for unity among Iraq's Sunni Muslims, Shiite Muslims and Kurds. Some carried banners in Arabic and English. "Leave our country. We want peace," read one.
Inside the mosque, Sheik Ahmed al-Kubeisy addressed his remarks to Americans. "You are masters today. But I warn you against thinking of staying. Get out before we force you out," he said. - link.
