"As President Obama's Iraq policy is implemented, the remaining missions given to our remaining forces must be clearly defined and narrowly focused so that the number of troops needed to perform them is as small as possible," Pelosi said in a press release. "The president's decision means that the time has come at last for Iraq's own security forces to have the prime responsibility for Iraq's security."
Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-California, co-founder of the Out of Iraq House Caucus, was critical of the plan. "I am deeply troubled by the suggestion that a force of 50,000 troops could remain in Iraq beyond this time frame," she said in a statement Friday. "Call such a troop level what you will, but such a large number can only be viewed by the Iraqi public as an enduring occupation force. This is unacceptable."
I think we don't need any American troops in Iraq. Why should we have to worry about the stability of Iraq? Iraq should take care of itself. Our military should be used to protect America, not other countries. America isn't the world's police. We shouldn't have to help Iraq rebuild itself. We should spend our resources on other more important stuff that affect Americans. Too much money and lives has been spent on this war already.
