in a training capacity and to guard all the cool bases we have there.

But the last US brigade combat team just left.

granted, like s. korea, we'll have 50k men there for the next 100 years, no doubt.  But thank goodness, they won't be playing referee for a civil war anymore.

The president's comments are misleading.  The news headlines are misleading.  We still have thousands of "combat" troops in Iraq.  Yes the mission has changed, but combat troops are still there.  Still in harm's way.

Not sure about the 2010 numbers, but here is an excerpt from 08:

Record number of US contractors in Iraq
Some 190,000 private personnel were working in the Iraq theater as of early this year, a new report says.

By Peter Grier, Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor / August 18, 2008

The American military has depended on private contractors since sutlers sold paper, bacon, sugar, and other small luxuries to Continental Army troops during the Revolutionary War.

But the scale of the use of contractors in Iraq is unprecedented in US history, according to a new congressional report that may be the most thorough official account yet of the practice.

As of early 2008, at least 190,000 private personnel were working on US-funded projects in the Iraq theater, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) survey found. That means that for each uniformed member of the US military in the region, there was also a contract

Busy boys...but according to MSNBC and Barry, the war is over. That idiot Mathews made a big that if something happened the Iraqi government would have to go through this big deal to get us to help...it would be a phone call, if that. The pricks still rocket us weekly,  nothing has changed.

Are you honestly spamming another thread with a link to a stupid fucking thread you made that no one is going to be interested in, googly-eyes?

You realize that 1.5 billion barrels is fuck all considering the US consumes 5x that in a year, right?  ::)
