Wow, can you imagine still being there in 2020?
LONDON — The commander of Iraq's military is calling for U.S. forces to stay in the country for another decade, reinforcing his stance that his country's military won't be able to secure the nation on their own after U.S. troops leave.
"At this point, the withdrawal is going well, because they are still here, but the problem will start after 2011," Gen. Babaker Shawkat Zebari said at a defense conference in Baghdad, according to the BBC.
"The politicians must find other ways to fill the void after 2011... If I were asked about the withdrawal, I would say to politicians: the U.S. army must stay until the Iraqi army is fully ready in 2020," the BBC reported.

80,000 have already left and 10,000 will leave this month
Their fault for not stepping up and for not setting up a government in all this time
Keep that in mind next time a bunch of rich boys want to send your kids to war.

it will happen again within 25 years .... it always does .... iran or nkorea will be the next 'imminent threat' .
I'll admit it.
I believed our President and his administration.
I bought the whole Iraq story hook line and sinker
I admit it
and I admit I was wrong
Looks like in hindsight Teefus was right all along. "follow the money" is what he used to say. And now it looks like it must be all about money.
You can train soldiers in just a few months and how long have we been there? Hell the first Iraqis that joined up after our occupation should be getting ready for retirement soon.
Libya, Syria, Desert Storm, Iran Iraq, Afghanistan, hell 100 other shitbag places.
WTF? After all this, we blow shit up, spend billions to fix it all.
Why not drop auto rifles and pistols and a bunch of ammo and just let them kill themselves.
Faster, easier, cheaper, and we don't even have to be there.
I was one of those idiots.
I'll admit it.
I believed our President and his administration.
I bought the whole health care, stimulus, and financial overhaul stories hook line and sinker
I admit it
and I admit I was wrong
But nice try
