>> Your solution is to leave 135K US troops there forever. Why? Of course not. But the draw down should be rational and not precipitous. I can tell you with great confidence that the insurgency is waiting for the right time. They are stockpiling materiel. And when the time is right they will attack. This could be avoided by gradually removing troops. The first stumbling block has been hit -- the news this week that they cannot afford to pay Iraqi Forces because of oil prices -- as a result, 66,000 new Iraq forces cannot be hired. And here we are, hemmed in by a president who cannot stand up and say, "This is our decision, the facts on the ground have changed, and we're going to hang in here until our interests are secure." There is no doubt that a competent president would renegotiate SOFA as needed and be able to insure security in the region. But Obama is weak and incompetent and doesn't understand or doesn't care about the importance of maintaining the hard-fought peace. It is a tragedy. But it is what happens when you elect a weak liberal as president. I thought after Carter we'd not do that again. Even Clinton didn't approach this level of weakness.
