  • Some Sunni groups, for example, privately favor a continued American presence as a counterweight to Iran's influence among Shiites.
  • Meanwhile, recent Iraqi military successes against al-Qaida in Mosul and Shiite extremists in the south have convinced some Shiite politicians they don't really need America.

    • In my view there is no way that I would allow any "questionable" Islamic country apply THEIR law on my troops if I were the president. The "radicals" and religious zealots are NOT who I would want to adjudicate any issues that may arise concerning America's troops. NO WAY would I permit fanatics to have a say in how American troops would be taken to task. The BEST judicial system in the world (imo) is here in America.

  • "The Iraqi government, if it wants, has the right to demand that the U.N. terminate the presence of international forces on Iraqi sovereign soil."
