Will the U.S. ever get out of Iraq?

Question

Will Iraq ever be able to run itself? How will this ever be accomplished?

Answer 1

If Obama wins, US will pull out of Iraq.

Answer 2

Iraq's demanding a timetable now.  They've even managed a couple of operations on their own without everyone deserting.

Next, South Korea needs to be taught how to defend itself against an impoverished army.

Answer 3

We still have troops in Europe (from world war 2), Vietnam, korea and 135 other countries. so nope.  

Answer 4

We will eventually be able to get our major forces out of there but we will probably leave an brigade-sized element there in the long run to protect the US Embassy and train Iraqi forces.  We still have forces in Germany, Japan, and Korea right now, although what they are doing now is far different than what they did when we first arrived there.  Some people took McCain's hundred years in Iraq comment out of proportion and assumed he meant we would be fighting there with 150,000+ troops for a hundred years.  The theory I explained in the beginning of the answer  is what he meant but the liberal media wanted to turn it into him condoning a hundred-year bloodbath.

Answer 5

Yes, progress is being made everyday, The Us and the Iraq goverment are in negotiations now to make our withdrawal safe  for Iraq. Iraq has made a lot of progress in running their own country and they will continue to do so.

Answer 6

Iraq will be another Korea

Vet-USAF

Answer 7

Well we're still in Germany after how many years?
