Nobody wants to make a decision about getting our troops out of Iraq, so they are pointing at the date when the new interim Iraqi government takes charge as some kind of Hallelujah Day.
Throughout the Vietnam War South Vietnam had a government of its own. American troops got out when they ran. Throughout the Korean War South Korea had a government of its own. The fighting stopped when Eisenhower threatened to use the atomic bomb on China. That was in 1953.
Nobody had the guts to make a decision about American troops in Korea, so they’re still there. The Soviet Union collapsed many years ago, but American troops are still in Germany.
There will never be a Hallelujah Day that will save Americans from having to have the moral courage to make a decision.
