We're still in the Balkans after a decade and its peaceful there. I'm thinking we should shift the bulk of our forces from there to Iraq and rotate existing units home. We're not going to secure a free Iraq in three years time and I think we all knew that going in. America is in this for the long haul and given nutcase Iran it makes sense to stick around.

"We're not going to secure a free Iraq in three years time and I think we all knew that going in. "

All? You're kidding right? Actually we all were expecting that our small army would be greeted with flowers by a welcoming people after a cakewalk to Baghdad with most troops already home shortly after combat operations were declared over and oil paying the tab. Those that did not expect this like Shineski and the Budget Director were ridiculed then dumped.
