al-Jaafiri would evict US troops if he gets a new term
There was another item in Steve Soto's piece that I referenced in my last post which I haven't seen elsewhere. According to Soto, Seymour Hersh was on NPR this morning and told Terry Gross that
we are opposing the continuation of Prime Minister al-Jaafiri’s tenure not because he is sanctioning Shiite militias, but because he has told us privately that when he gets a new term, one of the first things he will do is to call for us to leave Iraq. Can you imagine the damage to the GOP this summer if the Iraqi government has demanded we leave, and Bush and the GOP must defend their reluctance and failures in the heat of a midterm election campaign?
