Look Georgie! It's Democracy in action!
And it is happening in Baghdad, Iraq, where a majority of the parliament has signed on to a bill calling for an end to foreign troop buildups and a timetable to get them out.
The bill would require the Iraqi government to seek approval from parliament before it requests an extension of the U.N. mandate for foreign forces to be in Iraq, al-Rubaie said. It also calls for a timetable for the troop withdrawal and a freeze on the size of the foreign forces.That seems pretty clear. Like all democracies, this might take a while to consummate but there is no denying the intent of this action. Your move, Georgie.
The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously in November to extend the mandate of the U.S.-led forces until the end of 2007. The resolution, however, said the council "will terminate this mandate earlier if requested by the government of Iraq."
