“The people and the government of Iraq desire to be independent and have their own National Sovereignty even more than we wish it for them,” remarked General Petraeus. General Petraeus is commanding general for MNF Iraq Forces, and was speaking to the House Armed Services Committee in Washington DC on Friday.
The leaders of the Iraqi Government are sensing the urgency, so they are working doubly hard to achieve the benchmarks and goals that the coalition and Iraqi leaders agreed to last year.
