Last US General in Iraq predicts turmoil

You know because after our troops have left the Iraqis will be forced to determine their own post-Saddam state.
“Al-Qaeda will continue to do what it’s done in the past, and we expect that it’s possible they could even increase their capability,” he said. Meanwhile, Shiite militias based mostly in the south will pursue their efforts to expand their capabilities, Austin said.

“There’s likely to be setbacks, some tough times in the days ahead,” he told journalists at a briefing at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. “As we leave, we can expect to see some turbulence in security initially.”
One of those No Shit Sherlock statements that serve no useful purpose. It does make the speaker fell better though.
