"Give it another 30 days and if the north is then as quiet as the south, it should not be necessary...." >>> Yep, if it plays out that way. (I would argue though that the Shiite south is 'playing possum', content for now to let us diminish/dis-enfranchise their traditional Sunni oppressor/rivals in the north. Eventually though, the Shiites will attempt to assert themselves - perhaps moving for a greater affiliation with Iran.) "but rotation will be required eventually as the troops are likely to be there for a while.... Also, I fail to see how rotating troops would constitute an embarrassment to the president..." >>> Well, there is always a cost (political and to the economy) to calling up the Guard from their civilian jobs.
