The US, UK, Italy and Japan say they will pull their troops out of Iraq, if asked by a new Iraqi government.
The four countries made their position clear following a meeting of foreign ministers from the G8 in Washington.

It is the first time the members of the coalition have said what would happen if the new Iraqi government told them to pull out their troops.

But US Secretary of State Colin Powell, said he did not think that prospect at all likely.

"I'm not losing any sleep over it," he said.

"However if they asked us to go, we would leave."

The next 45 days are going to be intriguing to watch.

Now, how do we get the U.S. out of North America?

Very carefully.

Sorry, stupid old license plate joke. But sometimes when I hear people on TV or see polls, I realize that San Francisco is a wee bit different to the rest of North America.
