"Many more Iraqis are now dying for their country than Americans...and if they are to be free and soverign, that is how it should be. We are still there because the job is not done and I believe, there on the Syrian border we are hunting something of great value in the overall war."

Sure, more Iraqis are making the ultimate sacrifice -- as they should for their own country.

Am I to assume you believe the Syrian border hold a treasure trove of goodies that may break the WoT open? Hope you're right...

But until that happens, it's not fair to ask American Forces to hold the fort for Iraqi Muslims indefinitely. Moreover, word is resentment amongst the general populace is growing ever more resentful of our presense.

I do not believe that the Iraqis are asking us to totally hold the fort. A lot of them are dying in this fight...many more than our own losses. As time goes on, the balance will continue to shift, as it should.
