Iraq is INSISTING on a timetable to pull out the U.S. Army of Occupation. Man, that raises lots of questions:

1. Since every action their army has fought alone, the U.S. troops have had to bail them out of, what makes them think they can handle the job alone? They must think so, because our flunkies in the puppet govt. know what happens to them if their army collapses, as usual, and G.I.s are not there to save the day.

2. Have we created a long term enemy in Iraq, no matter who finally runs the place? My guess is, for sure.

3. Will they allow our guys to pull out peacefully, or will this be another airlift from the roof of the Embassy?

4. Have the U.S. troops in Iraq been ruined, or could they be re-deployed to the real war in Afghanistan? My best guess is that some can, some can't.

5. Will we oust the puppets and try marionettes next time?
