Iraq with-drawl propaganda is revving up...

Iraqis: Take us with you

BAGHDAD -- With pressure building in Washington for an American troop pullout, Iraqis who have worked closely with U.S. companies and military forces are begging their employers for assurances that they will be able to leave with them.

"They must take care of the people who worked with the Americans," said Hayder, an Iraqi who has worked for several U.S. companies since coalition forces entered Iraq.
"I work with them, I support them, I protect them. They must give us something," he said as he sipped tea in a small cafe in the fortified Green Zone.

...

For one former Special Forces operative who has worked closely with Iraqis for three years, any U.S. pullout that fails to protect Iraqi allies would bring unhappy memories of the final withdrawal 32 years ago from Vietnam.

"When we leave, all these people that helped us and fought for us will be hunted down and exterminated just like the Montagnards and South Vietnamese," he said in a telephone interview.
"In many ways, this is my second Vietnam," he said bitterly.

1. Naturally our quislings will be hauling ass as soon as we do.
The only thing protecting the puppet government and other lackeys from lampposts is the US military.

Of course they want us to stay. The longer we stay - the more money they bilk us for.
