But WE do. Massing armies is bad policy.

I don't know about you fellas, but, sounds to me like someone over there is a bit "scurred."

"if U.S. troops pull out"
They aren't pulling out and they know it. IN fact, they're bringing in more from N.Korea....so what's this story about?

Aside from the issue of freeing the people of Iraq from Saddam and his Ba'athists, and from uprooting his efforts to support terrorists and develop WMD's...all of which are worthy and necessary causes...the strategic implications of having our forces and ultimately a friendly country nestled right there...sandwiched between Iran and Syria are going to become more and more apparent.
Bring them on!

Do it soon. Hopefully before they develop their nuke.

How large is a battalion? 1000?
Seems to me if they're massed in one place, threatening Iraq, we should send them all to meet Allah.
