So many dead, wounded, maimed, poisoned with depleted uranium, infrastructure broken beyond repair, institutions destroyed, factions armed and aggravated....we've spent all our money into the next generations, spent our military to the point of endangering our own security, and frittered away any trust other nations had in our intentions. GOP legacy of hubris and abject failure. What is there really that we can do to repay the Iraqi people?

They have to either bring troops home or extend their tours of duty from 15 months to 24 months. At this point in time that would do work well for the Republicans. They are already losing the military. If they start extending deployments to 24 months, they will probably have a mutiny on their hands. prompting General David Petraeus, the U.S. military commander in Iraq, to announce that five of 20 brigades would be pulled out by July 2008.

I'd guess that the only people still living there are people with no other options at all. Very sad, indeed.
