No, not from Iraq. John "I have the hat" Kerry's resolution to cut-and-run from Iraq was soundly defeated 86-13. He did however characterize it as a great victory:

Feingold and Kerry declared the vote a victory, since their bid last week to mandate a pullout by December 31 got six votes.

"It was terrific," Kerry said. "Several votes more than we anticipated."

Which is like Germany claiming it won the Second World War because it involved more people that their first attempt.

The withdrawal mentioned in the title is instead from Germany itself, the US having lost a pitched battle against superpower Ghana in the World Cup.

Yes - Ghana! Noted mainly for colorful cloth:

Perhaps the most visible (and most marketable) cultural contribution from modern Ghana is Kente cloth, which is widely recognized and valued for its colors and symbolism.

And now known for keeping #5 ranked USA out of the World Cup finals.
