BBC News: Reports that President Obama has announced that the US will leave Iraq at the end of the 2011. As the article notes the US has lost 4.408 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Iraq, a heavy toll for a very debatable War in the end, the 2011 end date was part of the Status of Forces Agreement ( SOFA ) singed by Bush Administration and the Iraqi Government. The Iraq War at the end of the day is not American’s 2nd Vietnam War, the Bush surge of 2007 averted disaster, the insurgents on the whole were defeated by the US in partnership with the Iraqi Government. Thus what happens when the US leaves, its an open question folks, will Iraq become a puppet state of Iran, could Iran chance its luck and invade Iraq next year, all are option folks. Thus could future events make Iraq the 2nd US Vietnam War, should the worse happen and Iraq goes under, the Obama will merge in to LBJ and President Ford.
