    My problem is the fact that our top military commanders say it isn't quite time to leave yet and there are reports that we are bringing home the troops but increasing the civilian contractors there????
    HERE's one report
    In the speech saying the war is over and we have fostered a great relationship with the Iraqi people, there are hundreds gathering in Fallujah burning the US Flag to celebrate us leaving.

    As far as cost (money) check out This story. The "stimulus" cost more than the entire war. (Again money wise).
    Agreed! Good, bad, or indifferent we are there and leaving at the wrong time can be very bad! Pol pot any one?
