I give it 3 months.....6 months tops before it all becomes a killing field again. I just hope our troops don’t get caught in the middle.

I FIRMLY Disagree with you. I don’t believe you have any concept of what has occurred over the last 5 years in Iraq.
Pretty much the whole process has gone as planned in a strategic sense- in fact, I believe that the numbers of security forces in Iraq is now almost precisely what the Bush administration was projecting to be needed, and was working on training from day one. (Somewhere in my archives I have their initial projections.) Tactically, there have been some setbacks and learning needed (ending the capture and release of towns to be recaptured by terrorists again, IEDs from Iran, etc.) and evolving enemy tactics have had to be overcome, but that is normal in wartime. The PEOPLE of Iraq are firmly in the freedom camp now, and will not relinquish control to those terrorists again.
Bush’s fault, thank God!
Time will tell. I stick by my opinion. It’s futile to try and teach radicals to be civilized, unless you perpetually remain in a position of power and control over them which our commie in chief will not allow. I hope you are right, but I’m not betting the house it will happen.
