But all those Iraqi politicians are dumb as rocks for not calling for a deadline for US forces to leave. Thus, in my opinion, the 'elected' Iraqi leadership should be seen as responsible for the violence. This is because the violence is a reaction to the US presence, which the so-called Iraqi government endorses. One of their dumbass politicians the other day said something like "Iraq is not under occupation. We have many guests helping us in our defense." The Iraqi people should hold their leaders accountable for the carnage since they refuse to demand a rapid US withdrawl from their country.
