Redeployment to the border is not new....it has been discussed for a while. The problem with our forces sitting in the middle of Baghdad, Anwar province, Tikrit, Fallujah, et al. is that we cannot accomplish anything defined as our national interest. Do we really care which clique is controlling which ten square block area? And dowe even care (as Buddy points out) if the competing forces spend THEIR lives and capital settling disputes that are NOT related to terrorism and its extermination. Shouldn't that focus (which is going to happen anyway) be one we step back from? We can't referee it. The kurds like us. They fear the turks. The turks want the kurds throttled down. Put 50,000 U.S. troops in the north of Iraq and both objectives could be accomplished. Kuwait, Qutar, even Saudi Arabia itself....our troops can both defend borders and be available for new deployment. Not every redeployment concept is "cut and run", although some would have you think so. Iraq is going to split itself up. It's already happening. It is not a terrorist event.
