How can anyone be considering sending more troops into Iraq. To me it has turned into a bottomless death pit for our troops, to say nothing of the Iraqis being slaughtered. Surely someone should be able to come up with a plan which allows the US to get out of a combat situation and into a totally supervisory position. My heart breaks as the daily death toll rises. We shouldn’t be caught in the middle of a civil war and I see little effort from the Iraqi government doing anything to quell the out of hand situation there. To me, drawing down the combat force is not “cut and run” but good tactical sense. Let’s move forward with a plan to save the lives of our young people and get out of the mess that Iraq has become.
