I think I'm in trouble...

... I almost agree with George Will!

One Way Or Another, Leaving Iraq

By George F. Will
Friday, September 4, 2009Since U.S. troops withdrew from Iraq's cities, two months have passed, and so has the illusion that Iraq is smoothly transitioning to a normality free of sectarian violence.
...
If there is a worse use of the U.S. military than "nation-building," it is adult supervision and behavior modification of other peoples' politicians.
...
Up to 50,000 can remain as "advisers" to an Iraqi government that is ostentatious about its belief that the presence of U.S. forces is superfluous and obnoxious.

The advisers are to leave by the end of 2011, by which time the final two years of the U.S. military presence will have achieved . . . what?
[emphasis added]

Yes - just exactly what are we aiming to achieve with our continued military presence in Iraq?

W's vision of the bright beacon of democracy in the mid-East died long ago... pretty much as soon as Rummy responded to the rioting following the fall of Baghdad with, "Stuff happens."

It's a few years too late, but, hey! - better late than never.

... and I said above I almost agree with George Will.
Me - I'd say we should get out now, today!
As George asks, staying in Iraq for another year will achieve... what?
