If we cannot keep the peace with the number of troops we have there now, what would it look like with less troops? The new Iraqi government is still too young to be expected to deal with a rebel insurgancy and it is wrong of us to expect them to be able to. Remember they didnt try to set up a new government, we did. Bigthink Thu, 17 Jan 2008 04:13:52 +0100 http://www.bigthink.com/policy-politics/iraq/2041/#1592
