I just got back from Iraq in December after 10 months. not much going on there, I don’t see much need in us being there much longer especially after the success we have had. however I do not like advertizing DATES!
Yes, Iraq has been "home away from home" for a long time now and things have definitely improved - drastically.
However, Diyala and Nineveh provinces are still rough and al Qaeda is still pulling off terror attacks there. I agree that giving the terrorists a timetable is a stupid idea and one that the Democrats have been embracing even in the days when things were absolutely insane.
