Yahoo News/Reuters: U.S. Iraq envoy warns skeptical Senators on pullout[*1] :
The U.S. ambassador to Iraq warned skeptical senators on Thursday against an unconditional withdrawal of American troops but was told, in the words of one influential Democrat, “We ain’t staying.”
. . .
Sen. George Voinovich of Ohio, a Republican who has distanced himself from Bush’s Iraq policy, bluntly told Crocker: “We have to disengage. It’s inevitable.”
Sen. Joseph Biden, a 2008 Democratic presidential hopeful from Delaware who chairs the committee, chimed in: “Listen to the Republicans. We ain’t staying. We’re not staying. We’re not staying. Not much time.”
