>So no one has to tell me it's almost over. All the signs are pointing to it, for anyone thinking clear enough to see them. It doesn't mean everyone is coming home, but it does mean an end to the large scale occupation. And what would you say if after we were to leave Iraq were left with another cruel dictator, or an Iran-influenced theocracy, or a bloody civil war that kills hundreds of thousands? -Z

Mindmeld, I think you are right about the drawdown of US forces and the timetable. But I think we will maintain a presence there. With todays weapons, we can project power and keep the bad guys from winning with airpower and some special forces recon guys. We will need an airbase and some forces to protects it and the recon guys. An article was written that America will be projecting its protection of the land areas of the world as it has the protection of the seas by these new concepts. So Afganistan area, middle east, northern Africa and other large terrorist areas will be protected from the Taliban types taking over. rich
