A guy like me ...

They make cynics in Iraq too. Heh ...

...

"Americans won't leave," said Mazin Ali, 30, a coach driver. "They are the decision makers in all Iraq. The decision is theirs."

He and others on 14th Ramadan Street, a commercial strip in Baghdad's Mansour district, see too many signs of a long-term American commitment to believe that the U.S. will withdraw on the timetable in the so-called status of forces agreement.

...


After all these years of being shit upon by U.S. leadership, just as we were, the average guy on the street over there doesn't believe shit until he sees it with his own two eyes.

Like I said yesterday, talk is cheap.
