I just hope congress doesn't cut the military budget until the troops are out of there. That's my greatest fear.... that the Dems will cut off funding to the war, which directly affects our troops there. Actually I have reached the point where I want us out of Iraq. We are fighting a force we cannot beat with our hands tied.

And that's exactly how our military is expected to fight. Without inflicting many casualties. That's not how wars are fought and won. Since they can't conceivably win against fanatic Muslims ,whose lives are only worth dying to obtain glory in their heaven, we can't possibly prevail. We value lives. They don't. How can anything we do top that?
