Oh, I agree that al-Maliki's statements are balderdash. I even agree that, since we were occupying the country, we should have brought the military resources to bear to quell all violence and chaos in Iraq.
I'm not sure such resources are available to the U.S. or ever were. At what point do we determine we do not have those resources and, yes, end our occupation of that country? Is it September?
If not, when? 2008? 2012? 2030? When exactly??
