Will we pull out if the Iraqis ask us to, Colin Powell says Yes
Why the Hell are we even there right now?
Wouldn't a chaotic Iraq be much worse for the region AND the Iraqi people than a contained Saddam was?
Is this the Rove plan to take Iraq off the table?

Secretary of State Colin Powell emphatically said yesterday that if the incoming Iraqi interim government ordered the departure of foreign troops after June 30, they would pack up without protest, but emphasized he doubted such a request would be made.
Powell said the United States believes a U.N. resolution passed last year and Iraqi administrative law provide necessary authority for coalition forces currently numbering about 170,000 to remain even beyond the scheduled June 30 handover of limited sovereignty to an interim Iraqi government.
