Bring them home - no "redeployment", no bases in Iraq - bring them all HOME

Lieutenant Colonel Ray Madonna advocates "a termination strategy" that consolidates U.S. ground and air forces at three permanent bases: the Marines' Al Asad in the west plus two others, possibly the logistics hub near Balad in north-central Iraq plus the air facility outside Mosul further north.

"We could turn the war over to the government of Iraq," Madonna writes, "retaining sufficient combat power as a support force if the enemy massed for battle." That support, the author says, would entail air patrols, heliborne raids and rapid armored incursions.

This is NOT acceptable. Neither is "redeploying" our troops to Saudi Arabia or Kuwait, as I've heard some people suggest. Bring them all HOME. ALL of them. It's time to end this illegal occupation.

1. We agree.

2. I don't think we are going to disengage from the middle east

Even in the best case scenario - we are going to keep some troops in that part of the world; I do think it should be out of Iraq though.

3. Redeployment means moving ANYWHERE, including home. nt
