BAGHDAD — Iraq's prime minister said Saturday that U.S. troops are leaving Iraq after nearly nine years of war because Baghdad rejected American demands that any U.S. military forces to stay would have to be shielded from prosecution or lawsuits.
The comments by Nouri al-Maliki, a Shiite, made clear that it was Iraq who refused to let the U.S. military remain under the Americans' terms.

Western oil firms remain as US exits Iraq
The end of the US military occupation does not mean Iraqis have full control of their oil.
On November 27, 38 months after Royal Dutch Shell announced its pursuit of a massive gas deal in southern Iraq, the oil giant had its contract signed for a $17bn flared gas deal. Three days later, the US-based energy firm Emerson submitted a bid for a contract to operate at Iraq's giant Zubair oil field, which reportedly holds some eight million barrels of oil.
Snip
"Prior to the 2003 invasion and occupation of Iraq, US and other western oil companies were all but completely shut out of Iraq's oil market," oil industry analyst Antonia Juhasz told Al Jazeera. "But thanks to the invasion and occupation, the companies are now back inside Iraq and producing oil there for the first time since being forced out of the country in 1973."

The political propaganda says we didn’t go to war for oil, but the facts differ, no matter now if US citizens end up getting the gas or not its on the market, Big Oil Profits from Iraq’s oil, Libya oil just went back on line dropping global oil prices.
McCain and Graham should both put out to pasture, in the next 10-20 years guys them and the Koch Bros to Karl Rove will be dead or retired then maybe we can get back on track being the United States of America, keeping this guys in check will help to quell the Neocons war mongering.
I didn't hear gramps jabberin' when Bush announced this. All these republicans are insane. If Roosevelt were alive today, He would say "all we have to fear, is, the GOP!" Actually he was right the first time. What we have to fear is the fear that's gripped the far-right-wingbats, fear of the unknown, fear of gays ( what if they make a pass at me - and I like it!
), blacks ( they'll kill me, just like on TV! And I'm afraid of their huge penises! ), women ( small penis syndrome again ), and especially that A-rab, muslin looking guy with the beard....terror...
That is the fear that we need to somehow combat. Unfortunately, the right wing media keeps them ever fearful.
