Tommy "What's Anthrax?" Thompson wants an Iraqi Vote on the War
Thompson Wants Iraqi Vote on U.S. Troops

http://www.examiner.com/a-657150~Thompson_Wants_Iraqi_Vote_on_U_S__Troops.html

MILWAUKEE (Map, News) - Presidential candidate Tommy Thompson said Wednesday that he wants the Iraqi government to vote on whether the U.S. should keep its troops there. "I'm confident they will, but ... if they do vote no - they don't want us there - we should get out," Thompson said, drawing applause.

Thompson, who was health and human services secretary during President Bush's first term, made the comment during his first formal presidential campaign stop in his home state. He formally announced Sunday on "This Week" on ABC that he is seeking the Republican nomination for president.

Thompson described himself as the only candidate with a commonsense approach to Iraq.

Vote early, vote often.

2. Don't like 90% of the Iraqis want us out?
or has there been a "surge" in US popularity there the past few months?

4. "Iraqi government vote"
Of course that Puppet Regime will vote to keep the US/UK Occupation. Without the US/UK the Iraqi Govt. would collapse. Notice that the Iraqi people weren't asked to vote?
