Reply #7: Who was "fight[ing] for" 7/12 years to leave 50000 troops? [View All]

I'm curious who these "many of us" are that were fighting to leave 50,000 troops in Iraq until 2011? Whom ever they were should have been celebrating when Bush signed the SOFA.

And you want to celebrate this?

"And during this period, our forces will have a focused mission -- supporting and training Iraqi forces, partnering with Iraqis in counterterrorism missions, and protecting our civilian and military efforts. These are dangerous tasks. There are still those with bombs and bullets who will try to stop Iraq’s progress. And the hard truth is we have not seen the end of American sacrifice in Iraq."
