I think this is what is needed but they can’t be US troops, they need to be Iraq troops and police.

What I find mildly annoying is that the dems ran on a platform that included our speedy exit from Iraq but now that they have ascended to power they are realizing the situation and recommending the same thing (stay until we have stabilized the country) W and the right have been saying. Smells like a flip flop to me. I initially thought the shift of power was going to be a bad thing I am starting to believe all the bipartisan committees and such may be a progressive step to get some things done. We were certainly stuck in a rut before, time will tell if we get stuck again.
