Boots on the Ground

[JSR18]

I see the major problem as we simply left too early. Coupled with the fact that we advertised what date we were "leaving". Iraq was in no way, shape or form capable of taking care of itself.

Unfortunately, the only way to keep Iraq stable would have been to keep a permanent presence in that country and others around it capable of putting out any hot spots.

Kinda like we still have posts in Germany...
