Iraq can handle itself

According to a real US General on the ground in Iraq , Iraqi security forces can take care of their own country.
A spokesman for U.S. forces in Iraq told USA Today Tuesday that Iraqi forces can defend their country from an insurgency in spite of two days of violence that has some military experts calling on U.S. troops to remain beyond a Dec. 31 withdrawal deadline.

Speaking to USA Today’s Editorial Board, Army Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Buchanan said horrific insurgent terror attacks this week will not threaten the Iraqi government.

“I think the Iraqi government understands the threat that both al-Qaida poses and that these militant groups pose and has the ability to defeat them,”
It is good to see the military asking to get out of there. This directly contradicts those who lust for continued waste, warfare and US deaths in Iraq. I hope it works.
