Glad to see we did it. For a bit there I was thinking we would hold onto it due to the attacks.

Pretty smart move. Not giving the insurgents a specific day to attack. Although I suspect attacks will happen in two days that were put in motion a good while back. Will be interesting to see. And will tell us a few things about thier network.

But lets keep this non political. Current events are fine. But note the minute I see one go political its getting closed.

Understood and agree 100% on all comments. If I see it first I'll delete the thread.

maybe now more of our troops will be able to come home

[shartley]

I am glad the process has begun… so we can get our troops out of there. I supported the war and the REAL reasons behind it (all, not just some), but I don’t want our troops over there one second longer than they need to be.

If that country then destroys itself so be it.

I heard on the radio today that they planned on keeping the troops there for a very long time. exact words. but who knows. and what's wrong with a little political discussion, as long as people are mature about it? but I suppose it's hard for some people to be mature. oh well...

[PissedGodzilla]

I think it was a very smart Idea, and Done very smoothly, But I agree with CPhil, the rebels will probably mount an attack either two days from now, when it was supposed to be the handover, or, if they decide to push it up, sometime before then, But I am sure our boys are on teh highest alert...

We'll need to stay there until Iraq can police itself. Once that happens, they should ship troops back home... but no sooner.

I wish i couldve been a fly on the wall when those terrorits jerks heard about this. :wow: :cool:

Very nice story.

Did you see the note from Bremmer to Bush?

Glad to see this happen. Hopefully they will be able to police themselves ASAP!!!

Agreed, if we send the troops home to early the government could easily fall in the wrong hands wasting all of the times/money/lives we have spent already.

Glad to hear, I just hope we will be able to a thwart most of the attacks that will spring from this change.

2 weeks early looks good for the stat chasing preformance report writers. Did I mention that I hate stat chasing performance report writers?
