"Marine general urges redeployment
WASHINGTON - Iraq is stable enough to allow the roughly 22,000 US Marines there to withdraw, the service's top general said yesterday.
"The time is right for Marines in general terms to leave Iraq," said Marine Corps Commandant James Conway. That war has become largely a nation-building mission rather than the pitched fighting in which the Marine Corps excels, Conway said.
Remember when Bush said he doesn't do nation-building? Look at what he left us!
Conway said he wants to see up to 20,000 Marines deployed instead to the building fight in Afghanistan....
Yup, HAVE TROOPS, WILL TRAVEL!!!
President Obama is expected to go to the Pentagon next week to meet with the Joint Chiefs of Staff - the military heads of each service - in their secure meeting room known as "the tank." Sorting out troop levels in Afghanistan and Iraq is expected to be on the agenda.
