My thoughts exactly. If we put our troops in that situation they will be sitting ducks for every terrorists with mortars or rockets. As far as I am concerned we have already won the war, let the Iraqis mop up the terrorists and pull our troops back to the states right after we get a signed document that they have the situation under control and do not need our troops there anymore.
My first thought when I saw this was the 1983 barracks bombing in Beirut.
