re: "Army plans to keep 120,000 troops in Iraq through 2006" - kinda shoots the idea of "democracy" in the rear, doesn't it?
Well....I suppose if this expected Shiite government gets elected in Iraq,
they could always ask the Americans to leave in a reasonable amount of time...
I don't think Tom or Ed or anyone else on this board would complain
if they make that request, and I don't George Bush would refuse if they do ask.
