Iraq says U.S. sought troop presence to 2015

We shall see said the Zen Master

I have a feeling about a month after what ever date we pull out, and they are up to their elbows in invading Iranians, and Syrians, they'll want to reconsider.
I sincerely hope i'm wrong.
We occupied Japan till 53 and Germany till 54 or at least had an oversight presence in Germany till then.
So another 3 or 4 years to help protect them isn't an outrageous amount of time.

Iraq has the right to extend - so, they'll have the right to shorten? right?!

By 2015, we should be able to get all of their oil.

we were already their largest single customer before the war.

why should that change?

2015? Only if we are complacent and gullible enough to give McCain two terms.

I would be completely shocked if we actually stuck to the 2011 timeline. Something will happen to change the schedule.

how many more will die due to greed

2011? That's still far too long.

Any Bush deal can easily be revoked by Obama. Why do you wish for more deaths and destruction in Iraq?

Navy, are you still operating under the delusion that all of the factions in Iraq wil learn to get along if we stay long enough? How long do you think it will take? Korea long? These people have had a cultural and religious clash for over 700 years. They are going to solve their own problems or no one will.
