Time to leave Iraq and let them sort it out

[Praxeas]

reports that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki wants U.S. troops involved in a deadly raid to be prosecuted, while Pentagon officials maintained that the raid was approved by the Iraqi government before it occurred.

The controversy broke out after an operation early Sunday in which coalition forces, according to the U.S. military, arrested six suspected members of violent groups. Two Iraqis were killed in the raid -- the U.S. military described one Iraqi as a hostile man wielding a weapon; the other was described as a woman who got caught in the crossfire.



The Washington Post reported that al-Maliki, in a written statement, called for the six suspects to be freed and for the U.S. troops to be prosecuted -- the first time the Iraqi government had called for such a thing.

I thought that according to the status of forces agreement, they were only able to prosecute for "crimes" committed while off duty.

Yes I agree. Now that we have helped establish a government with an Islamic constitution its past time to get out. Sad to say as soon as we do believers in Yeshua will be killed. But thats happening even while we have troops there. I hate to think what happens to them when we leave. Just looking out for the interests of America however I say yes. Leave. Pack it up and go. It was a big giant mistake. Thousands of lives lost. Tragic.
