150,000 Iraqi troops would be nice. But we don't know how many there really are. The disinformation coming from this administration makes it impossible to know how many troops there are. I have seen all manner of numbers bantered around by Rumsfeld and others. It all boils down to a bunch of lies. I read last week that the majority of Iraqi troops are still C3...the lowest amount of training and readiness.

This administration says we can't leave till the Iraqis can defend themselves. Then they spend twice as much on fixing the infrastructure as they do on rebuilding the Iraqi Army, and only 2.5% of the total Iraq expenditures.

That adds up to one thing. Rumsfeld did tell the truth when he said we'd be there for 10 or 12 years.

Buck up pal...it's going to be a long time till we stop receiving flag draped coffins and busted up guys, mostly from IED's made from the weapons dumps that we didn't have enough guys to quarantine in the first place.

If you thought Nixon was a POS...just look at the pompous ass we got for president now. A real turd in the punch bowl.
