Huh, I didn't realize this was happening already. (http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/38744453/ns/world_news-mideastn_africa/)
or am i dumb or something
-
now who are we going to kill next?
-
Do we have money for killing people? I propose we stop killing people until we have more money, then we can go back to killing people. Or go to space. Space is cool.

Now if you die, it was a non-combat injury!

How long until secret combat ops end?

It's more or less been the schedule since... what? Late 2007?
But yeah, sort of sneaks up on you. :)
-
Pretty cool. Hopefully now we'll be able to bring some money back in.

I doubt it. I've got the sneaking suspicion at least some of those guys are going to be re-directed to our other endless war.

Which? There are several.

Afghanistan might benefit from an additional mentoring task force staffed by these guys when they're rotated back.

we need a new country to invade.

I'll name a few. Iran, North Korea, Somalia, Pakistan, Canada (because Axem lives there).

Alaska.

Alaska.

Israel. Rogue nation with lots of WMDs, a history of supporting terrorism, and nuclear capability. Fits the bill, right?

So I finally read the article.
At one point, the United States had blanketed the country with nearly a quarter-million-strong combat force; by the end of the month, Obama said, about 50,000 U.S. troops will remain in the country, in a non-combat role providing support and training for the Iraqi military.
I think that's the real key here. The entire thing rests on how well these 50,000 men and women do their jobs, and how hard the Iraqi Military want to work. If Iraq remains in its current state, we'll have left it with a countdown timer until we'll be forced to come back here to what may be an even worse Iraq.
Unfortunately, this isn't something that can be swept under the rug once we've left.

That was very quiet...

Well I think the article said it was intentional. After all, guess whose going to be putting dates in their diaries when they hear about massed convoys of US vehicles on the roads out of the country? :P

Could you wait 18 days?

Pushcart vendors?

I sense that 'Combat Operations will now cease' in the much the same way that the 'War was Over' less than a month after it started...

The grammar on that site is horrible. Too many times the word "then" was used where "than" should have been. And several words that were supposed to be plural are not. If the AIP does take over, i will wait for invasion, and make them run a spell check at gun point.
EDIT: I mean rewrite at gunpoint and not spellcheck.

Indeed. I just saw a report on the pull-out, flatly stating the last combat troops to be exiting the country. Then, right at the end, "five thousand troops will remain in the country for training purposes."
Don't think of this as an end of the fighting, rather just an end to direct reporting on the fighting.

I think key to our future endeavors will be the understanding that if we skip the occupation part we can fit even more invasions into out schedule. Why stop with one?
