Most U.S. Troops to Stay in Iraq Til 2010 - A Bush Oddity?

With apologies to Kubrick, I really do think there is a Bush oddity to the requirement of having troops in Iraq in such large numbers (try 120,000 service people) through 2010, well after we get Bush's ass (and the worthless rest of him) out of the White House.

From John at AmericaBlog:

Jesus. That's four more years of this mess, at least. Jesus.

And by the way, so much for Bush's promises that we might just decrease troops next year. Apparently he got that wrong too.

That's some freaking "cakewalk", "in and out" and "pay for itself in spades" operation. Well, pay for itself perhaps is true for Halliburton, Bechtel, and a few others of the Bush-loved sponsoring corporations.
