According to the Army Times, the troops left behind are still combat troops, their units have just been designated as 'Advise and Assist Brigades' instead of normal combat brigades. In other words many of them have a combat arms MOS, and so assuming they still have weapons, would be able to return to combat status quickly.

I wonder what Krauthammer would have to say about George Washington’s Farewell Address (e.g. tending to problems at home and ignoring our [French] ally).

How can a poor nation like Switzerland survive without an international “vision”??

t least 4500 Special Ops soldiers are still doing battle in Iraq, and will be doing so for the foreseeable future. And the 50,000 that remain as "advisers" are already dying. My feeling is that Iraq is about to see some of the bloodiest fighting in its history, and U.S. troops will be right in the middle. My fear is that this inevitable bloodbath will be used to justify some kind of re-invasion.
