http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071127/ap_on_...s_iraq_congress Flip flopping? Just kidding. Good for them. I don't know if they're up for re election, but methinks they're just swaying with the political winds so they don't get voted out of office.
I think it has less to do with hating America and more to do with loving Capitalism/Money. U.S., Iraq deal sees long-term U.S. presence. "Two senior Iraqi officials familiar with the issue say Iraq's government will embrace a long-term U.S. troop presence in return for U.S. security guarantees as part of a strategic partnership. The two officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the subject is sensitive, said U.S. military and diplomatic representatives appeared generally favorable, subject to negotiations on the details, which include preferential treatment for American investments." Anyone want to take a wild guess what any of these American Investments might be? Or whether they might have had anything to do with why we went there in the first place? What does the commercial say? DUH!
