“That is why I support Hunter’s plan: Train up the ALL Iraqi forces for heavy combat duty. As they get that battle experience, hand over swaths of territory to them, and we rotate our troops out. No benchmarks for the iraq politicians. We’d be waiting til hell freezes over.”
If that is truly his plan, I love it. I remember Bush suggesting something like this but I think he got so hung up on “democracy in Iraq” that he kind of got off kilter as far as training the Iraqis and then getting out....Hunter is my guy at this point, but I would love to see some positive movement in the polls for him. Maybe he needs to look into the camera in the next debate and say to the “Democrat voters” watching, “if you want out of Iraq and don’t want a sequel of the killing fields, I’m your man.”
The only stipulation to that is I believe we will have bases there for decades. Big AF bases.
