over 35% of the USAF lift capability

Nor is the necessary civilian airlift available in the same numbers as GULF I.

And removal of not only the troops, but all the equipment, buildings, transportation units, weapons, etc etc etc....

It is simply amazing to me that the Democrats in Congress, and some of the hard right in the US, think that they could evac 160,000 people and all of their equipment out of a country the size of California in 6 months.

And seem to care nothing about any agreements, or contracts, or anything else that our Government (which is only the American citizens) have committed to...

Why haven't we heard them caterwalling about being in the Balkans, or in Japan, or in Germany, or in South Korea, and in fact being in any of the 70 some countries where we have troops today...?

Do the Dems want to cut and run from those places as well?
