Pretext? We need no stinking pretext!

Iran urges end to Iraq fighting, says helps US

Iran called on Saturday for an end to fighting between Iraqi government forces and Shi'ite Muslim militants to remove any "pretext" for U.S. troops to stay in Iraq.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran does not regard the recent clashes in Iraq as being in the interest of the people of that country and calls for a speedy end to the clashes," Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hossein said.
He added that by avoiding clashes "the people of Iraq take away any pretext for the continued illegal presence of the occupiers."

Does he really think that will drive W and regime to pull-out?
