They don’t want to hear it RBB!

The Iraqis also said they thought violence in their country would subside after U.S. troops leave, and they embraced the idea of setting a timetable for the troops’ departure.

Why is Bush so opposed to victory over in Iraq?

Oil.

Excuse me, you were saying?

Excuse me, you were saying?

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Bill Delahunt released a letter today from Iraq legislators expressing widespread disapproval of the proposed U.S.-Iraq security agreement if it does not include a specific timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. military troops. 

“The majority of Iraq’s elected representatives are now on record opposing the proposed U.S.-Iraq security agreement—which means this agreement will not be endorsed by Iraq’s legislative body as required by their constitution,” said Delahunt today following a briefing with Iraqi Parliamentarians visiting Washington DC.

The letter was signed by thirty-one Iraq legislators representing a majority of the Parliament and was delivered to Delahunt, the Chairman of a House Foreign Affairs Oversight Subcommittee this week.

We, the undersigned members of the council, wish to confirm your concerns that any international agreement that is not ratified by the Iraqi legislative power is considered unconstitutional and illegal, in accordance with the current rulings and laws of the Iraqi Republic. Furthermore, any treaty, agreement or “executive agreement” that is signed between Iraq and the United States will not be legal and will not enter the stage of implementation without first being ratified by the Council of Representatives, in accordance with Article 61 of Section Four of the Iraqi constitution, which gives the Iraqi government’s legislative power, represented by the Council of Representatives, the exclusive right to ratify international treaties and agreements.

Likewise, we wish to inform you that the majority of Iraqi representatives strongly reject any military-security, economic, commercial, agricultural, investment or political agreement with the United States that is not linked to clear mechanisms that obligate the occupying American military forces to fully withdraw from Iraq, in accordance with a declared timetable and without leaving behind any military bases, soldiers or hired fighters.
