Guess What ... The Iraqis Want Us To Stay ... Again

It never ceases to amaze me how often the Iraqis say this, and are ignored. Much like the terrorists are ignored when they tell us they want to kill us, or that they support the Democrat plan.

Heads up to Michelle Malkin for the lead.

In Iraq Journal has the interview with Iraqi soldiers. Here are some excerpts:

INDC: What do you think of the American presence here? How do you feel about the Americans, and has this feeling changed over time?

Mohaned F: "We work well with them. The MiTT team teaches my soldiers something new every day. We have classes with them."

Mohaned N: "I wish to keep the US here because it is good for us. We can learn new things every day, and if we work together a long time, it will be good for the Iraqi Army."

Jabbar: "I want the US to stay a long time. We need weapons, we need training we want to work with the Americans for a very long time."

INDC: How do you view Iraq's future? What do you think is going to happen here?

Jabbar: "We have a good future."

Mohaned N: "It will be good."

Check out the whole thing. It's worth it.
