"And the reason is, because we want the Iraqis to do more. It's easy for the Iraqis to rely upon to us do this work. I believe that more American forces prevent the Iraqis from doing more, from taking more responsibility for their own future."
This is the part of the letter I dont like. It is a cop out. We have not given the Iraqis the ability to do more. I do not think the admin has any intention of getting out of Iraq. There is a reason they are building 4 Gargantuat Military Bases. It is a Strategic Central location in the middle east.
