I swear that's terrible. Now they are saying the Iraqi's are to much to handle and it could be a problem. They need to get our guys out of there.

With us sending all our people over there aren't we valnerable? I mean if people attack us and all our people are in Iraq and such then what a we going to do?

It doesn't leave the US vulnerable, for a start there's only a tiny percentage of your military forces committed in Iraq. Plus there's more chance of me growing wings and flying than of anyone invading the USA. Even if someone did try it on, you'd get a warning as it would have to start with a Naval engagement in all likelyhood so as to establish a beachead. The only countries that could feasably invade the USA without warning would be Mexico and Canada, I can't see Mexico doing it and Canadas military consists of a bloke called Bob, a mounty, a goat, and 4 nuclear submarines they bought off the British... that don't actually work!

The main point is that the cost of life over there is astounding and not just in military personnel, those Iraqi deaths include civilian casualties as well. At what point was the status quo preferable to what they now have?
