Some people will respond that the Iraqi Army cannot survive without logistical support. Well, we will have over a year to fix that. In any case, it is not the Iraqi Army's lack of combat power, but rather the Iraqi leadership's lack of political will and judgment that is the real potential stumbling block. Regardless of how serious this problem proves to be, our troops cannot fix it as long as they hang around in their bases. With luck, it will not lead to disaster, but if we leave before it does, then it will be Iraq's problem, not America's. Which is as it should be.

    The Iraq war is over by no means. The combination of U.S. military and Iraqi traitors has prevailed so far, partly due to the excesses of Al Qaeda and other religious extremists. Many wars have had breaks in the action, while regrouping goes on. It does no service to peace in the Mideast nor the U.S. role in the world for the media to buy into the neocons declaration of victory. There was no justice after the debacle after Vietnam and you see what crimes that led the Leviathan to commit, in the name of peace, democracy, or whatever...When will the world ever learn!

    This is a silly propaganda trying to portray that the US is powerless in Iraq. How can the US be powerless when it is the US who invaded Iraq in the first place! The US managed to destroy the entire Saddam's army! The al-Qaeda and Sadr Army are just rag-tag gun swinging ordinary ill-trained and ill-equiped militia. How can the most advanced military in the world be powerless? You must be joking! Moreover those people who are in power in Iraq now are all appointed by the US, infact the current Iraq government is just and extension of the US government which the US can manipulate anytime. Come on be realistic! Silly article.
