Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "It may be that American troops cannot lower their presence [in Fallujah] yet, even if they do from the rest of Iraq."

Just like the Israelis can't lower their presence in various parts of the occupied territories. But looking at history, the fact is that the Israelis did exactly that, and repeatedly.

The difference between the Israeli situation and the US one is that after we leave, we're not going back.
