We probably need something more like 250,000 to 350,000 troops in total to stabilize Iraq in the short term. Countries like India offer the best bet. We don't need a few thousand non-US troops -- we need a couple of hundred thousand non-US troops. Over a period of 2 or 3 years these can stand down in favor of a new set of Iraqi security institutions.
