>> OK, so we should withdraw tomorrow... we won it's over lets get out. We ARE withdrawing right now. But it takes time. The military is a different thing than it was years ago. Units tend to be more self-sufficient, to have more of their own equipment, and the claims of "stop-loss" notwithstanding, the military attempts to respect initial deployment orders. There is still some work to be done. The withdrawal has to be done in a gradual and orderly fashion to insure you don't withdraw so quickly as to create a power vacuum that requires us to come back yet again. I believe Obama was told in no uncertain terms that you're talking about a force of 50,000 for some time yet. It is likely we'll be substantially out in the next couple years so long as violence doesn't crank up again. I don't know if it can be done more quickly than that just from a sheer logistics and transfer of power point of view. Still, this is far better than what you guys have predicted for years. The Left, of course, has talked about us being there for decades.
