Yes, that's about it. Then the left will be screaming and whining why we aren't doing something about it.

Great job, came in broke a country and left. But hey it gave it democracy in return. Sadly free speech does not put food on the table.

Broke a country?
Oh yea, Iraq under the Baathists and Saddam wasn't broke at all. Just like 1939 Germany wasn't broken.

The last COMBAT brigade heads home. Doesn't mean there is no one anymore. There are still "peacekeepers" and troops to help build up the country.

Until Dec 2011 !
Nobodies blaming the boys, but the politicians yes
@ Brockeye : Bro I know many Iraqis aswell as expats who worked in Iraq before the Invasion and they all say they are happy that Saddam is gone but sometimes wish things could go back to as they were before the invasion and sanctions. Standards of living were decent, there was food on the table, gas and goods were cheap, they had things we take for granted like electricity and running water.Currently the capital city of Baghdad has only 4 to 5 hours of electricity.
Wheter you like it or not Iraq is broken at the moment. Atleast leave it as you found it, if not better.
