Coalition troops 'may quit Iraq'

Blares the headline in this BBC article.

No one in this article ever uses the word quit; except the BBC. By using "quit" the BBC wants it's readers to believe that the US is "quitting" or "giving up" on Iraq and the Iraqi people.

The US, UK, Italy and Japan say they will pull their troops out of Iraq, if asked by a new Iraqi government.

How is pulling out your troops at the request of the new government "quitting"?

What would the BBC report if the coalition was asked to leave but refused? "US stands firm in spite of governments calls to leave Iraq" You just can't win with the BBC.

I have already emailed them and complained.
