Bush to Iraq government: F#@& you!!

Finally the Iraqi "sovereignty" charade is tossed aside by BushCo:

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The United States on Tuesday rejected a demand from Iraq for a specific date for pullout of US-led foreign troops from the country, saying any withdrawal will be based on conditions on the ground.

"The US government and the government of Iraq are in agreement that we, the US government, we want to withdraw, we will withdraw. However, that decision will be conditions-based," State Department spokesman Gonzalo Gallegos said.

I guess the question is whether this is about giving McCain political cover or something else.
