Reuters Says Iraqis Want a Dem President

The liberal media are cheerleading for a Democrat to become president. So what else is new?

Reuters reports that Iraqis are on the same page as the lib media. What a surprise!

BAGHDAD (Reuters) -- Iraqis are avidly watching the 2008 U.S. election race, searching for signs of policy change under a new president and prospects for U.S. troop withdrawals from their country.

"I do not care if the president is a man or a woman, what really matters is the change of American policy towards Iraq," said Muhenad Sahib, a university professor from the southern oil hub of Basra, Iraq's second largest city.

...[Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama] have vowed to start bringing troops home in 2009 if elected, while Republican candidate John McCain has supported President George W. Bush's 30,000-strong troop build-up which has been partially credited for sharply falling levels of violence across Iraq.

Athil al-Nujaifi, a member of a secular, multi-ethnic political bloc in the volatile northern city of Mosul, said a Democrat victory would offer the United States "a new future".

"The current situation in Iraq is tied to President Bush and his inability to admit his mistake in occupying Iraq and his inability to avoid the mistakes the neo-conservatives committed," Nujaifi said.

...Many of those across Iraq interviewed by Reuters over the past week felt U.S. voters could do worse than elect Clinton as the first female president of the United States.

"It would be fantastic because a woman has more sense ... she cares more about her life, her family and her people," said Qassim Tuaima, the owner of a Baghdad curtain shop.

Abdul-Latif al-Dulaimi, a 38-year-old architect, agreed, describing Bush as "hasty and stubborn".

"Bush led his country to be hated and created violence in many parts of the world," said Dulaimi, who is from the former insurgent stronghold of Falluja just west of Baghdad.

While the article cites a couple Iraqis who think the outcome of the U.S. election won't make a difference in America's Iraq policy, nowhere in the article is there a positive word about President Bush or presumptive Republican nominee John McCain.

Apparently, no one in Iraq supports Bush or U.S. policy. Reuters couldn't find one person to express thanks for what American troops have accomplished in Iraq.

Liberal bias? What bias?
