| Description | Bremer Tells Iraqis US Will Leave Iraq if Requested
The Honolulu Advertiser
The U.S. governor of Iraqi told regional officials Friday that the United States would leave Iraq if requested to do so by the new Iraqi government. L. Paul Bremer told a delegation from Iraq's Diyala province that American forces would not stay where they were unwelcome. The United States plans to keep substantial military forces here after the June 30 handover, prompting critics to question whether Iraqis will gain genuine sovereignty.
During a briefing later Friday, coalition spokesman Dan Senor said that U.S.-led forces have the right to remain in Iraq "through the coalition process" under U.N. resolution 1511. Thursday, Undersecretary of State Marc Grossman said the new Iraqi government will not have the authority to evict American forces from Iraq, quickly reversing a statement made minutes earlier before a House of Representatives panel. |
