US should redeploy its troops at .....
Reader comment on item: Salvaging the Iraq War
Submitted by Dara (India), Jul 24, 2007 at 11:14
US should remove its troops from cities and redeploy at ,
1) Iraqi Borders
2) Iraqi Oil and Gas installations
3) Airports
4) Major Strategic and Military Locations
5) Iraqi Parliament.
Leave Iraqi Cities to be defended by Iraqi Army Soldiers. We had enough of body bags of our boys coming home.Now let them defend their own people.We need to control Iraq fully , but this can be done by training and leading Iraqi Armies. We should make full use of Iraqi Army to crush Jehadi Forces in Iraq.
