The Washington Post, interviewed an unnamed military official who speculates that we can’t pullout of Iraq on the timeframe previously suggested. This is not really news per se, just the expected response. America is caught in a very difficult circumstance. Politically its becoming nearly impossible to keep troops in Iraq. So many are saying the war was a mistake, and I agree, unfortunately leaving Iraq does not change the mistake, it just creates a world of new problems. Unlike most administration policies, polling cannot dictate our actions. In a sense though, what do Americas care if Iraqis kill each other? That itself is the problem, when we retract our troops and their are startling economic and political results in Iraq and the region, most Americans will be woefully ambivalent.
