Anything follows from a contradiction

therefore the US will stay no matter what...unless it decides to bail out is
in its interest.

When first asked by House International Relations Committee members whether
an interim Iraqi government could force U.S. troops to leave, Grossman
stressed that Iraqi leaders wanted them to remain. He also said that the
Iraqi interim constitution and a U.N. resolution gave them authority to do
so.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a California Republican, kept asking Grossman, ''If
they ask us to leave, we will leave, will we not?'' Pressed for a yes-or-no
answer, Grossman eventually said yes.

But he later agreed with another panelist, Lt. Gen. Walter L. Sharp, that
the interim constitution and U.N. resolution gave U.S.-led forces
responsibility for Iraqi security for the immediate future.

After the hearing, Grossman was asked if that meant U.S. forces would not
leave if asked by the interim government. ''That is correct,'' he said.
