Iraq

I have been advocating for two years now that American troops be pulled back outside of the population centers such as Baghdad. The vast majority of American deaths are occuring in and near the cities.

It is my contention that we can be as effective patroling the country from bases out in the desert where it will be far more difficult for "insurgents" to sneak up and surprise our boys.

Let the cities go to hell and ruination. Make the Iraqi governement and people patrol their streets and re-assert civilization in their metropolitan areas
