" President Obama’s announcement on Friday that all American troops would leave Iraq by the end of the year was an occasion for celebration for many, but some top American military officials were dismayed by the announcement, seeing it as the president’s putting the best face on a breakdown in tortured negotiations with the Iraqis."
[New York Times]
We will now send (keep ?) "trainers" in Iraq for decades ! Trainers will not engage in combat operations ...... except to defend themselves. So now our troops there will have to wait until they are mortared, bombed or shot up before they are allowed to respond. [clipper]
