Default So what to do now that the war is over....

What's everyone's plans? I heard it with my own ears last night our commander in cheif said we were bringing the boys home. Does anyone really think that those people can run and protect their own country by next year? Heck I doubt the can do it in 10 years. If we pull out I see a big power stuggle among the locals.

Nothing is going to change with the war. Some of the "surge" troops home by 2012. The rest of the "surge" troops *may* come home in late 2012. Even if those two happen, what about the non "surge" troops?

It is a sad reality, but our Country doesn't know how to pull out. We will thin our military even more with a base or two in the stans.
