Now that is new way of looking at it for sure. Heck we all know that with these IDIOT Liberal Press, that the only news we are seeing is all the bad. That is a nice way of looking at it. And we know that our US Service Men/Woman, are NOT dieing as they were back a few months ago, and that is a great thing. I for one, WISH they would have completed this SURGE back a few years back, and as 60%++ of Americans want, our troops for the most part WOULD be headed back home by now. But the President has a nice plan now...and it WILL WORK, just a matter of waiting it out!
The fact is, Iraq IS our new Germany when talking about our Air Base there. We are NOT leaving that country all together for a LONG time. Heck, we beat Germany over 60 years ago, and we are STILL there! We will be in Iraq, for most of our livetimes. But the time and day is coming for the folks of Iraq to protect their OWN country. And the US folks, will stay and protect our base. And NOT partake, in the road side bombings that are happening as we are policing the area. The Iraqis in the NEAR TERM will be the only police on the sidewalks IMO.
And the US folks will continue to fly in and out of the great Air Base, that has been established in Iraq!
