The Iraqi's want us out now if not sooner. They apparently feel like they can handle what few of the terrorists that are left there on their own. They would like to get back to their oil business as usual. Can't blame them for that!!!!!!! What you want to bet that they re-nationalize their oil business within 2 years?!????!??!??!?!?!?! American oil corporations don't get along well in other peoples oil business and that's why everybody in the world except the USA and now Iraq have nationalized them.
