events such as the carbombings will happen as we transition out and the iraqi army fills those voids.
their army is proving to be competent, maliki is as well.
all from my understanding of the current events, views,, assesments.

I have no problem with the pay-off except acting like it was "troop surge" that
made the difference instead.
Troop surge credit implies that we "defeated significant forces and removed them".
The Iraqis were just waiting for the US forces to leave so they can settle their
differences amongst themselves. Expect fighting to continue at least until
Iraqis believe no "US puppets" are still in place.
We can't beat them and we can't join them.....so get the fuck out.
A major blow to the ego maniacs that think the simple possession of high tech
weapons means we can instantly stomp the shit out of everybody.
These type people are fucking fools and we need to kick them to the curb politically
to prevent future cluster fucks like we have in Iraq.
Fight when you have to, not just because you can.
