@ravage

i dont know how accurate that is. the republicans wont scale back for sure. democratic front runners couldnt commit to pull troops out by the end of their first terms. Maybe you’re right about the strategic presence, not sure if hillary will though.

But that will mean that US has to have “friendly forces” to act as a buffer [like the coalition of the willing.. ] which is not happening, at least according to some US commanders, if we believe that iranian sponsored iraqis / iranis are heavily infiltrated in the security forces and actually might be receiving US training to fight US troops later on..

Aqua, where are you pulling out the 11,000 number from? :aq:
