The New York Times - Global: Reports on the gradual withdrawal of US troops from Iraq and how Al Qaeda plans to react, the NYT writes the following, "....al Qaeda and other militants would like to exploit the moment in one last bid to derail the fragile security gains. " Its up to Iraq now to show that it wants to be one country, it cant allow the terrorists to win, as JFK said in essence about South Vietnam, well it can also be said about Iraq, " Its their War " thus after the US has left in 2011 the people of Iraq have to come together and decide do they want to live together or will they fall into killing different ethnic groups, the USA and the UK can only do so much, the UK at the end of the day was run out of town, that why the UK is now stuck in Afghanistan, the US Military view of the UK in Iraq in less that stellar. Of course events that are outside Iraq could change the strategic actors on the ground, if Israel hits Iran, then Iran could hit US forces in Iraq, thus the 2011 plan to get by the USA would be in tatters. Lets see what happens folks, will be interesting either way.
