But the difference is that the troops that will be there will be used as in support role rather then independent action. Becuase even though the Iraqi army and police have taken the lead in most of the country, they still need and request training from US Forces. As there are several constriction jobs and city repairs that the Iraqi population want from the government to the local village elder. That is why not all of us are leaving right away. Also may I ask why not all of my comments have approved yet? There will be troops past 2010.

I am sure that you know about the National Guard in LA that have been helping since 2005. But now that they are leaving the people are getting upset. http://www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2009/02/national_guard_leaves_new_orle.html Also take a note at the comment in that artile too. Sending troops works and is a viable plan now. When I aked about Code pinks plan if they opposed sending troops, I was expecting some kind of workable step by step plan rather then some vage ideas that code pink expects someone else to figure out. It is just as bad as not haveing a plan at all. Here is another point on how troops can keep the peace and inprove people’s lives.
