The remaining members of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force would remain in Iraq until replaced by Poland’s peacekeeping division, which is expected to deploy about the time the 3rd Infantry Division completes its withdrawal......Also, he said, “the Marine division that’s in place … will leave when the Polish division takes its place.” Poland’s force is expected to be ready to take over from the Marines about the time the 3rd Infantry departs. “Don’t hold us to the exact week or month, but it’ll be in that time frame,” Keane said. “Everybody else will stay 12 months.”....
Internationalizing” the force in Iraq is also a goal of the U.S., he said. British and Italian army units are already on the ground with more nations contributing later.
Other nations like Poland and the Netherlands are sending troops and more nations can be expected to contribute later this year, said Keane and McChrystal.
....personally I have confidence in our militray and we will get this situation squared away

Actually... he said major military conflict was over... thus, I guess you can say the war. I suppose they are in clean up mode now. If done correctly... it could take years. I think the administration is going to try to have a permanent prescence there.
Just a question 2thick, What would you have done about Iraq? What is your take on the whole situation? I always see posts where you criticize the actions of leadership, but I have not read enough of your posts to figure out what your position is.

losing 365 or so soldiers a year out of a force of 150,000 or so+ is really quite a small attrition rate..after all you are a soldier and this is still a conflict of sorts..I think Nam roughly worked out to about 100KIA/week for about ~500 weeks

As a responsible leader, I would have not supported Saddam in the first place. That point is moot, so I would not have attacked Iraq, but rather had the UN ransack the country until Saddam could not take it any more and kicked out the inspectors (which would had allowed half of the world to rain down fire on Saddam).
If I took over right now, I would remove all personal that had any support for the Bathe party. Then I would create a parliment of people voted in by the people to be the top advisors to the internationally headed occupation team.

It was an invasion and occupation. The people killing soldiers are normal Iraqi, not Saddam's people. You have to be an idiot to believe that Saddam supporters actually believe that he will come back...but then again be both know how bright you are.
