We can finally bring our soldiers home now that the Iraqis are actually taking responsibility for their own country.
Regardless of whether or not I agree with the war, I think its time everyone comes home.
Iraqi security forces are now in control of nine provinces after assuming control of Iraqi's southern oil hub, Basra, in December. Iraqi forces are also expected to take control in Anbar province, a one-time insurgent stronghold, as early as March.
How many provinces does Iraq have in total?
The MSNBC link I provided has a general saying that the Iraqi forces are not ready...
So we'll have to stay there for 10 more years until the military and police can defend themselves?
Maybe we shouldn't have disbanded the Iraqi military in the first place; most of them weren't even loyal to Saddam and now we're probably training the same people who were relieved of duty a few years ago.
Nice.
