Hear hear! I could swear that some of the people now saying that we need more US troops have said previously in other threads that it's the US soldiers that are causing the violence....

Regardless, I don't see where more US troops would help make Iraq stable and independent. They need their own national army to be bigger, better trained, and more reliable if the Iraqi democracy is to succeed.

I voted for integrated- it's the only option that makes sense.
